Vendée Globe Sunday Morning Update - Richomme closes on Dalin while fleet behind compresses

[@maxsothcott4484]

Outstanding coverage, thank you! Today’s drone footage was awesome! The ultimate in multitasking! ¥I’m so glad I’m watching it from the comfort of my couch in front of the fire!

[@jlm02009]

Great coverage! Can you talk about the guy that’s in last place and what’s going on with him?

[@utenorman1283]

Thank your for the update, even on Sunday. I appreciate your effort and don't miss one single video. I am rooting for Boris / Malizia since day 1! Happy to see him finally catch up a bit. 🇩🇪🎉❤

terrific update - it's turning into a global round the bouys race😏

[@chicobicalho5621]

Finally some excitement on the horizon. Following the VdG since the 96/97 edition, and this one has been slightly boring since the North Atlantic Le Cam breakaway South and all other boats going West, then bunching up, then the series of 24 hour records was exciting. Since then, it became a bit bureaucratic; reminding me a bit like the days when Formula One racing was a procession and cars rarely passed other cars. But things are about to improve, it seems. This channel has been one of the great aspects for this edition of the VdG, very clear and to the point. Thank you.

@@chicobicalho5621 I've been hooked the whole time, but it does look like the next few days could be very interesting!

Thanks

Super video. Does each skipper become experts in drone video?

[@MrViniciusMazzon]

Amazing.... Skipers e barcos inacreditáveis.... que loucura a velocidade e estabilidade. E ainda conseguem voar um drone para filmar 😮

[@ravicabral2522]

Love your updates. I just wish they were longer.

Would love to hear about the very back of the pack!

[@garywilkinson6832]

Super updates, is the drone footage done during the race by the skips or pre-race “stock” footage provided by the committees behind each boat?

[@kevinwhilden5394]

I have the same question

[@johnyray590]

Any idea what model / make/ type of drones they are using? It’s always fantastic footage. Thank you.

[@Clover12346]

Interesting.

[@George-ux2jr]

Very similar to astronauts in space with their meal packets.

[@Ranchpig67]

The skill required to stay sailing at top levels is phenomenal, but at the end of the day, it's really all about the luck of the wind.

[@Sail-World]

@@Ranchpig67 I think luck does come into it, but the cream tends to rise to the top, thanks to good navigational decisions

[@salmanudeo]

These droneshots are b-roll for reference, are they? I cant imagine them being such swift drone pilots as well.

[@Gilloup]

The Richard Gladwell sliding graphic analysis is not understandable ... could you explain it in your next videos ? Thank you

[@keithc5729]

Can I find the 4 hour distance for each boat on the Vendee site?

[@Tachikawa5]

Go Boris…

[@Sail-World]

He's got a very good chance of making huge gains over the coming days

[@JazzHillBilly]

how is/are Boris Angels ?

[@sixerantoine5757]

we see sailors attached to a cable incase they fall overboard....... but once in the water attached to the cable and dragged at 20 knots in the water, how is the sailor suposed to get back on the boat ? anyone knows?

[@gerardboorsma3418]

They should wear a remote control for the autopilot to change the heading of the boat and slow it down....

[@sixerantoine5757]

@@gerardboorsma3418 sure but being dragged in the water at 20 knots, probabbly banging on the side of the boat, impossible to see or even breath properly I can t see how a man could even start getting the remote out . How can they even come back on board once they fall off, attached to the boat by a rope.... anyone knows ?

[@robertgeorge9909]

I remember years ago talking with a friend who crewed on a round the world race aboard a 100' cat. They did not wear harnesses because they would be killed by them at 30+ kn. They knew they would never be recovered alive by the time the boat got turned around and back to them so they wore a knife around their neck to end their suffering. The thought of this is chilling enough that on my cat with my harness on I can't get near any edge on the boat.

[@andrep8287]

Allow me - if you please - a really stupid question: What do these racers use to take the "off-boat" video shots? Do they use drones - or are these 'AI' shots, identical to these new 'surround-view cameras' one can find on newer cars, which even display the pictures on the monitor taken from the top down? Your response{s} will be greatly appreciated. Regards from Alaska (PEI)...Canada's smallest Province

[@JoeB1207]

shots done previously for the drone shots. On boat is the skipper's shots.

[@JoeB1207]

The leaders continue to head South East until the computer says turn. They will need to gybe at around 300nm from here, more or less. Probably less. And so, when one gybe's the other will gybe. The match race in the Southern Ocean will be close. No turning off the AIS!

[@JoeB1207]

AND a HUGE low pressure area is meeting the leaders at Cape Horn. OMG. If the sched holds, the leaders are in for either heaving to, or bracing for the big one. Wow. In other news, the JOY expressed by Pip, just yesterday was memorable. Wow. Condolences that Pip no longer has a mast. :-( :-( :-(

The footage of Charlie Dalin is from before the race as he gave us an audio-only update

[@ljewina3862]

a drone

[@ever4hue]

Thank you Mark, that really helped us fathom the footage that accompanies his audio 💫

[@ВалерийХарченко-ш5д]

You hate Charlie Dalin. You made him turn north 2 days ago and the competition is catching up. You want to stop him from winning the race at all costs. Вы ненавидите Шарля Далина. Вы заставили его повернуть на север 2 дня назад, и соперники догоняют. Вы хотите любым путем не дать ему выиграть гонку.

[@Sail-World]

@@ВалерийХарченко-ш5д an odd comment, since I think he's one of the greatest offshore sailors ever, and a really nice person as well. Not sure how I'd have made him do anything!

[@ВалерийХарченко-ш5д]

@@Sail-World , and who made "greatest offshore sailor" make such a stupid maneuver? Now the wind matches the forecast, "greatest offshore sailor" could not have made such a stupid choice himself. и кто же заставил Шарля Далина сделать глупый маневр? Сейчас ветер совпадает с прогнозом, Шарль Далин не мог сам сделать столь глупый выбор.
