Vendée Globe Tuesday 7th January Update - Don't Look Down!

[@george1la]

I cannot believe they are on the way home. Look at the constant beating they take. What endurance.

[@davidnichols147]

With Boris at the top of his mast, 8. Justine, 12 Clarisse and 13 Sam Davies this is a remarkable lining up for a photo finish in France.

[@robpepin732]

Well done Boris Herrmann on climbing the mast and sharing your time. Bravely done. Bravo Zulu!!

[@utenorman1283]

So nice that sailors are willing to share what is going on, particularly, when they are under stress and sleep deprived. Thank you as always for your briefing, dear Mark. Very best regards.

[@Sail-World]

I agree! The fact that the skippers are so open about their fears and tactical options are what makes this race so engaging.

[@380Scania]

Well done Boris going up the mast on your own. Will would be proud of you as we are conquering your fear of heights. Greg 🇬🇧

[@diamaunt2782]

Thank you so much for the work you put in on getting names pronounced right!

[@carlaschiefer9069]

Really incredible coverage of this race all the way through ❤

[@bones1225]

Skills to the fleet. Fair winds.

[@carolus2110]

Samuel Guteskind is in a good shape, and optimist, great too Conrad, in fact very cool guy! Thanks for the report.

[@peterebel7899]

Poor Nico! Brave Boris!!! High respects to Justine across the whole Southern Ocean!

[@Tachikawa5]

Great reporting. Thank you.

[@Sail-World]

It's such an exciting time in the race! I know this is a long one, but I felt all the information was needed today.

[@PetersPathToJoyAndHope]

Awesome ❤ well done

[@frankbuchberger8916]

Top Job Boris well done👍

[@diagonaleffect]

Very beautiful footage and update. Thanks.

[@Sail-World]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bradleydaniels9639]

Looking good thanks for the update👍

[@carolineleese1164]

Some great interviews. 🎉

[@steveswann8448]

Over the weeks, I have attached myself to these sailors as if they are an all star cast in a great movie. On this level, it will be sad to see this great cast of personalities participating in a great human effort come to a close.

[@Sail-World]

There are many more events in the IMOCA calendar, so we aim to continue covering them and following these great sailors. Moreover, we will be producing more videos from more sailing events!

[@GCM_AU]

Tight lines sailors..&..fair winds!

[@valeriedibble9371]

😅Well done coping with your fear of heights, Boris. Valerie Dibble

[@sailor5026]

Hope all goes well, Nico.

[@mvr3]

brave boris!

[@bloodynorahvan2203]

Sam is doing well

[@Sail-World]

Both are! Sam Goodchild's in an older generation boat and mixing it with the newer designs, and Sam Davies is clawing back the miles after her and Clarisse Cremer got stuck the wrong side of light winds near New Zealand.

[@claudineborgne7157]

Coucou. Navré pour toi. Que tu sois aussi malade je te souhaite un prompt rétablissement 😮 reviens nous en forme. Ma belle. Douce soirée. 😘😘😘🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️

[@davidpacey1377]

Okay, did anyone else think it was Pip talking to Charlie?

[@stephenduck4628]

You must be tired I don’t think you had a day off from reporting. Well done

[@Sail-World]

It's pretty relentless, but I am addicted to this race, and sailing in general!

[@tomhermens7698]

This would make me unsuitable for the vendeeglobe . Would not go up the mast.

[@Sail-World]

I've got a lot of admiration for Boris and anyone who can go up an IMOCA rig while sailing solo!

[@diagonaleffect]

Yes 29 m !!!! 👀 I couldn't that. Boris 🏆🎉

[@MyriamKaplan-Pasternak]

Sewing kit check Climbing rig with proper instructions for climbing rig check your up your down but not going to show the repair, not one stich, befor/after? Why even mention it? The good wind the swell size and direction bla bla bla a bit anti climatic to say the least
