Seawolves Vendeeglobe 2024 report 41 The hidden design battle between Charlie Dalin & Yoann Richomme

[@SeawolvesTV]

Who do you think will end up winning the Southern Ocean part?

[@ВалерийХарченко-ш5д]

Will you place the right bets and win money? А вы сделаете правильные ставки и выиграете деньги?

You are the gold standard of Vendée Globe coverage! Keep up the excellent work

[@davidtydeman1434]

It’s important to remember how good the people at the back of this elite race are

[@davebeattie36]

thanks so much for the analysis on the "optimal" tuning differences of type 2 lead boats today...Question....what do they actually do (or have) to make these differences? I thought it was all about sail positions or shapes. or is it to do with the shapes of the boat hulls?

[@OCteahead]

Pip’s video today mentioned anchors sealed in Medallia’s port tunnel. Are the anchors like the engine, having to be sealed during the race (and disqualification is unsealed)? If so, the engine makes sense to me, but why the anchors?

[@outdoorsandkayaking]

Hi, thanks for sharing your knowledge! It would be interesting to know more about the optimization done in different boat designs. Is it more on the design of the hull, rig and sails or what?

[@nigelwallace4408]

I was unable to comment yesterday but as a proud Tasmanian i agree with Conrad that Cape Leuwin is beautiful as it may be is not anything special as far as Capes go. I think Southwest Cape at the bottom of Tasmania is much more significant and the fleet actually goes much closer to it than Western Australia. I wouldn't want to suggest it to the New Zealanders but as they are even more south than Tasmania and also the halfway point in the race if they have a decent Cape that anyone has heard of at the bottom a New Zealand maybe theymshould talk about that. Alternatively they could say it is a 5 Cape race. Cheers Sea Wolves

[@davidtydeman1434]

I guess thee significance of Cape Leeuwin is that it marks the end of the Indian Ocean leg which is the first real test of the race.

[@olavthyvold2288]

How are the boats measuring boat speed (not GPS speed) when they are foiling? Isn't boat speed through the water (vs GPS speed) a key input to TWA, AWD, TWS and AWS for the autopilot? Thanks for your channel. I enjoy these videos and your commentary.

[@outdoorsandkayaking]

Hi, I would expect that they use satellite compass, which prodides information about the direction and speed of the boat movement together with the direction of the bow or heading. This information can be combined with wind instrument data to get the data you mentioned. The traditional way is to use a magnetic compass to provide the heading and speed through water measurement to get the speed to that direction. Satellite compass is much more accurate and not affected by magnetic variations etc.

[@James-KL]

Yes, banter between Brit’s, Ozzie’s and Kiwis is standard and not to be taken too seriously 😂🤪🤣

[@dundeedolphin]

Especially among the Brits. We're definitely better at it. 😂

[@TheNomadDiary]

Don’t exclude the South Africans! All 4 Nations are big competitors and don’t take any prisoners. . . 😂🤣

[@dundeedolphin]

@TheNomadDiary No. Come on now. Next the Irish will be wanting in.

[@TheNomadDiary]

@ Oh man, the Irish has been exceptional in the Autumn Nations Rugby Series!

[@dsmith5940]

Yes but HOW do the two lead boats differ, in their designs? Florian, can you get one of the naval architects on?

[@PatrickIrwin-y9h]

Pip's making just over 100 Miles a day with around 400 Miles to go as I type this at 1740 Melbourne time . If she can keep up this pace and the jury rig can stand it and the weather forecast is accurate she's sail into a hole and then into north easterly between Flinders Island and about Apollo Bay. If she can stick this out, Port Phillip is possible, if not she might end up at Portland or Flinders Island which would be a pity. I'm sure her team have scrambled to Melbourne and there would be a welcoming committee at Victoria Harbour, if that is her destination...... Interesting isn't it?

[@PerryQuinn-ke7dm]

Flabergatering,🤟😎🌎🌍🌏🇦🇺🤟😁🔱🏆⚓

[@nigelwallace4408]

I am in awe of how good their autopilots are watching MACIF belting along and seeing how quickly the pilot is reacting to the pounding that its getting is absolutely amazing.

[@sissyfus6181]

That struck me too!

[@JustZPlease]

Boris is already on the 7th place and I bet he will reach top 5!

[@cherylteach-in70berent5]

Jeremie exhausted Burton-like hook problem, crazy MaitreCog overtaken by Malizia, Vendee excitement.

[@PerryQuinn-ke7dm]

Great edition ,keep it going ,Perry🤟😁🇦🇺🌏

[@James-KL]

Description of optimization excellent and informative Florian-excellent!👏

[@robertaryan2143]

I just checked out the origins of the Sea Wolves name. You should explain where the name came from. IE: The movie with Edward G. Robinson etc. Now I get it. :) Now I too, want an mug. :)

[@collarandhames]

Question: Do the foilers and the non foilers compete in different classes in this race?

[@ashentmariner]

Hey, Beautiful Work Mate ❤

[@kevinbuggie3808]

Maybe you should credit Yoann’s video from the other day as your source material on the optimization topic? Seems like the exact analysis he shared

[@akkiroeh-gl6sv]

What about Boris‘ Full turn with his boat? Do you know what happened and how can anyone keep on going strong after that?

[@MichaelCornelissen-o1p]

Please explain how the video cameras seem to automatically point to the speaker as he she moves around

[@JamesC785]

Camera on a stick/pole which he is holding (& just out of shot), probably. Like a selfie stick ( in some shots you see them extending the telescopic part of the pole )

[@sissyfus6181]

some gymbal mounted cameras do that.

[@markcounseling]

Yoann is an upstart badass fueled by joyful fearlessness but Charlie has a mermaid in the family line that endows him with dolphin-like intuition for the water, to say nothing of his PhDs in both nautical engineering and wizardry.

[@Gi-ib8pf]

Could you explain some time how they steer the Autopilot? Do they have Remote controlls?

[@chrisedwards2539]

Yes I think remote controls are standard for autopilots on this type of race boat. In case you need it when you are up the mast

[@irishpete79]

Not sure how you managed all that without trying to explain exactly what is different design wise between the two lead boats …. optimised how ?

[@anthonyjordans581]

Good evening from Vught, the Netherlands

[@richardlawton1023]

I pray they all get past the cape with minimal fuss.

[@bill-nn1vp]

good vid

[@HopeSmith-v6q]

I'd like to know how the sailors know when they are approaching the ice barrier-is it a warning signal-or what.

[@apusupa738]

They see this line in their maps, that should be enough I think...

[@markphiliposian8081]

Sooooo…can we make the opening a ringtone for IOS?

[@davidtydeman1434]

Ask Florian. I believe he is playing the saxophone in the introduction

[@071946]

Good morning from BC

[@capthawk57]

If these are really formula boats can the skippers decisions be the only explanation for some boats as much as 2000 miles behind Charlie?

[@peterbeckett9730]

Dont forget Pip will she make Melbourne?

[@PatrickIrwin-y9h]

We are keeping a close eye on this Peter, being Melbourne based. She is making just under 100 Miles a day with, as I write this Sunday morning Melbourne time, just over 400 Miles to go. The next two or three days she will have good downwind sailing conditions, at about 4 days the breeze drops out and she gets headed. I think a lot will depend uon whether that jury rig lasts. The line to sail fixings are nowhere near sufficient to sustain any real breeze so I don't think they look good. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up at Flinders Island. Patrick Irwin

[@cherylteach-in70berent5]

@@PatrickIrwin-y9hshe rigged a 2nd sail. Amazing women sailors in the race.

[@joseluismontanez8538]

Great !!

[@071946]

Where is Pip now

[@unicorntrainer226]

South Pole

[@leonemccallum2397]

Pip is putting up a daily vlog (slow boat to Melbourne ). Very good

[@suzilouden5964]

​@@leonemccallum2397Pip's last update was about 24hrs ago.....

[@dadcooks1347]

You can see her on the map in this video. She’s level in latitude with the bottom of Tasmania but a bit to the west. She’s pointing at Melbourne

[@markntexas8265]

Seriously these guys need to use safety belts I know that's probably counter intuitive but quick release belts do exist

[@071946]

Are there 2 rudders on all the boats.

[@apusupa738]

This is standard on these boats

[@juttaweise]

Florian, the first name of Joann Richomme is acturally "our Johan" with an almost silent h. It's the old french form of Jean. Otherwise always nice to listen to your technical inside knowledge. Even though I would have liked to hear more how Guirec is doing after him having been thrown out of his bunk for more than 4m, him having quite a lot of blessures. I would also like you mentioning this incredible young woman Violette. When I hear Jean saying that one of the front sails weighs around 400kg I am wondering how she manages all that! I really think she deserves some consideration. We know by now how the front men are doing ;o)), it would not make so much difference to take some time for those behind! Thanks!

[@walterhiegel3020]

Well you got me but you embarassed me in the process. Returning to planet sail for vende news.

[@quenting9607]

simon is not in good position now, with storm coming onto him and a foil missing... worrying.

[@nigelfox]

Bro, you were serious about Conrad being offensive, and now you are just backpaddling.

[@oreilly1237878]

This race is far far from done yet and the extremely difficult conditions to come will probably lead to entirely different leaders.If 10 yachts finish this race that will be amazing.

[@arlin411]

FYI Samantha’s last name is DavIES, not DavIS. But I do enjoy your commentary.

[@sissyfus6181]

Names don't seem to be his thing. He butchers them all, except for Pip. Oh well!

[@j1mmusj4mmus]

Would it be unfair to suggest Pip Hare took a risk pushing her boat to compete for position and paid the price with the unfortunate demasting.

[@cherylteach-in70berent5]

Watch her videos, don’t know what happened after her joy of speed and learning to manage those foils comments. Beyoux had Burton-like hook problem. The women racers’ videos reveal their race experience and around the world travel before Vendee. Remember those crazy finishes after thousands of miles in other races. Fascinating expertise, courage, preparation!

[@christophertaylor3001]

The Pacific Ocean meets the Indian Ocean at the Southeast Cape, the Southernmost point of Tasmania, down the meridian to the Antarctic Ocean. The Cape of Good Hope makes no sense as when you round that, you end up in Cape Town. Cape Agulhas is the geographical southern most point of the African Continent where South Atlantic and Indian Ocean meet. Conrad is correct. You are wrong. Perhaps you have lost your mind, or never had one to begin with.

[@petes9524]

Apart from being a spit of land adjacent to Cape Point, The Cape of Good Hope was the name change for the whole of the Cape, from the original name, The Cape of Storms

[@ws-uv6ko]

Seems pip is out of the race, so forgetten for you. Look at here weatherconditions the following days much more interesting than your mostly booring comments

[@ВалерийХарченко-ш5д]

Why are you lying? The organizers simply ordered Charlie Dalin to give up. He deliberately chooses a route with worse wind than his opponent. The tracker will help you. Зачем врете. Просто организаторы приказали Charlie Dalin сдаться. Он заведомо выбирает маршрут с ветром хуже, чем у соперника. Трекер вам в помощь.
