[@diagonaleffect]

Brave Pip, you don't let yourself be defeated. Your creativity is great. I'm looking forward to repairing the sails. Make good progress and stay healthy. Greetings from Germany ❤🍀🙋🏼‍♀️🎅

Exciting updates as the race approaches half; especially touching is the emotional sharing of Eric Bellion , his emotion of being in this grand event, “I love my boat” - I am with you Eric! The fact that this high tech boat is taking you on such voyage SAFELY😊 and that we get to accompany you over the air waves is phenomenal thank you Eric! Neptune giggled with you at Cape Leeuwin 😊 and watches you sail along, continue safely and keep enjoying, we delight with you Skipper, best wishes from Chicago, near mighty Lake Michigan best left alone in winter😂

[@utenorman1283]

[@2000rpascual]

...brave Pip! Greetings from Chile

[@braydeny]

Wow Charlie is the man, incredible he's been able to push his boat like that and then repair his boat. Omg we might be witnessing a miracle run

[@leonemccallum2397]

[@investigativeresearchcounc8388]

Pip I still my fav!

[@janetleigh-gt5zc]

Courage!!

[@salmanudeo]

could you please highlight, witch footage is actualy from the race and what is b-roll? Its a bit confusing sometimes

[@Sail-World]

@@salmanudeo I'll try, but it's not always easy in the timescale I have to produce these shows

[@salmanudeo]

@@Sail-World thx for your effort

[@mtumix]

What a sailor woman. Youre so great.

[@chrbdt4213]

Cheers for Pip!

[@bradleydaniels9639]

Amazing 👍🌊

[@stevenstojic1439]

So do they have 2 classes now? Or are the dagger boards and foilers all jumbled together.

[@Sail-World]

It's all one class (IMOCA) but the classifications show who is sailing a foiler with a red tick in the Ranking.

[@michaelg.3351]

Thinking about Eric Tabarly and all the other great sailors that have been lost at sea because they fell or were swept overboard (RIP!) it makes me quite uneasy to watch Oliver Heer without a lifebelt.

[@Sail-World]

I should point out that this was footage recorded before the race as Oliver Heer's update was audio only, but it had me wondering as well!

[@michaelg.3351]

@Sail-World Thanks for the reply! That's good to know. Still I wouldn't be to keen to have a MOB situation on an imoca under any cirumstances...

[@berndkupfermann399]

Go Boris go....

[@kristianmalmsjo7553]

Thx for all your updates! Really nice and convenient way to keep one up to date with all of what is happening every day! Maybe you can include where the leader is today compared to where the leaders of past races have been the same day. I would find it interesting to get that history, and also get an idea if we might get a new record at the finish. Thx from 🇸🇪

[@Sail-World]

Great idea! I should be able to do that for tomorrow's update.

[@williamhowe2888]

She's amazing!

[@JoeB1207]

The leaders are all a full day ahead of the record pace for this race.

[@vermontsownboy6957]

6:45 Do my eyes deceive me? Video snippet of Oliver Heer walking forward across a pitching deck attached to NO lifeline? I'm struck dumb; is this not impossibly dangerous? Or is the thinking that if he goes over the side attached to a line, there's no way he'll have the strength to fight the force of the water under (high speed) sail to climb back in?

[@Sail-World]

It's footage from before the race, as the update from Oliver was audio only, but yes, it had me worried as well!

[@Robert-xm2kz]

Glad Pip is thinking of the next campaign,she is inspiring in the face of such serious shit!!

[@zanetaylor3540]

What was the beer/champagne bottle all about with Eric Bellion?

[@Sail-World]

Thanking his boat and the sea

[@chrishorlock3932]

look after the boat, the boat looks after you!!

[@canvashomesusa8729]

... A small 6 meter kite, is a nice safety kit

[@patlelion]

French supremacy! But everyone is amazing sailors, I sail myself and even the last one of Vendee Globe is 4 times faster than me ! Unbelievable

[@braydeny]

The god of the sea is called Tangaroa down here

[@patrickkleine9954]

wy do calling this boats foiling this no foiling i call this tail riding

[@ottobihrer732]

Some of the videos of the yachts flying are AI produced, looks silly with the water splashing artificially around the boat, maybe, there should be a reference on all AI produced images by law. This can get really dangerous with false information fast.

[@Sail-World]

There are animations of the yachts with the skipper intros (not AI produced) but the video on my screen in the intro is 100% real.

[@VernL-g4b]

INSANE!!!! watching Oliver Heer running around on deck not clipped in, one bad wave and he's a tragic statistic!!! sets a poor example

[@Sail-World]

Thankfully that is footage from ahead of the race as the update from him was audio only, but yes, it had me scared as well!

[@peterhirt991]

what is this guy celebrating with champaign? Yes, one gets tired with drinking champaign ;-) He should wait till the end or at least past Cape Hoorn

[@patlelion]

He s celebrating his emotions! So lonely for so long May affect your mental health! He is just happy, it s beautiful

[@nikkigrant7497]

It's called " champagne sailing" it makes happy sailors!🎉
