The Toughest Offshore Race In The World - Vendee Globe Preview - OnCourse Ep36

[@TaygetaBlue]

Thank you for interviewing Pip! I've been following her for three years, and have so much respect for her.

[@pourquoiunidentifiantdabord]

Thank you. Very interesting, as always. And for a French sailor like me, it is nice to see how the VG is reported by non-French media. Also hearing from English sailors like Pip and Samuel (I’m a fan of both, great sailors, top personalities)

[@esr243]

You’ re a brilliant and engaged reporter. Very pleasant and thorough.

[@george1la]

They are the top athletes in the world especially concerning the mental requirements. To do this alone on a super big fast boat is something. I was nailed to the screen during the last race. Thanks. They are so fast that they have to watch how fast they go in certain weather and waves.

[@jeffcondell]

It is quite something else! I've been enjoying the atmosphere and catching up with some friends for the past Week.

[@floodo1]

great coverage as usual. So happy that it has begun again!

[@PN_48]

Awesome. We saw a lot of these boats after the ‘23 TJV and the foils are something to behold!

[@pbonck]

Great episode

[@Santos-oc2no]

Very good video and a great speeching, thank you very much!

[@mcintyreadventure]

Fantastic...thanks :) !!! ...

[@profiskipinternational4402]

Tks for this time travel through since 1989 (Rec.: had cancer that year at age of 25). How can fly time so fast. What remarkable machines and more ... seems all sailors are humble, genuine personalities. Appreciate all the work Planetsail and the whole team puts into these wonderful productions. Felt like to be in the race village. :-) May all sailors have extra-ordinary experiences (of the good) and return safely. :-) Tomorrow I will be on board live of Boris' boat (just virtually). :-)

Thanks for sharing 🤙

I fell upon this last time it was run. I'd never really been into sailing much, then this happened. Properly hooked on Imoca's now, whether it was the TJV or the Ocean Race or thus one, so good. I think it might be the way the sailors update us every day, which you wouldn't think would be interesting, but it really is unless ive now turned into a dull person !!!! I also think the idea that everyone is equal, male, female, foilers, non foilers, whatever, is fantastic. Sport how it should be. Now we just need Pip or one of the two Sam's to win 🤞. What a story that would be.

[@djml5249]

I'd appreciate comments on the "2" separate fleets, especially on the daggerboard fleet. Up to now most journalists are only looking at the foiling fleet and who might be the overall winner.

[@quillgoldman3908]

Where do we find this movie “29000nm” ?

Good man good luck

[@paulgilliland2992]

Very well made mini documentary about this race . Who knew almost 20mm people in France actively follow the race.

[@paulblacklock2160]

Thank you, great blog, as always. At some point can you explain how the foils work on these boats. Regards, Paul.

[@stephensparkes7260]

Thank you😊

[@denistellier5422]

You forgot King Jean! 6th participation, 1 capsize, 1 rescue!

[@davidtydeman1434]

I suspect that the skippers will be the part that breaks in these brutal boats- let’s hope everyone stays safe and returns safely to their loved ones 🤞🤞🤞

[@adrianfratelle2942]

How can we watch 29000NM in Australia? Seems the supplied links don’t work here.

[@patmerilynwalsh7186]

Is there a dvd we can buy we can’t get France tv in Australia 😢

[@TheSusieTom]

After the start will the village still be there to visit?

[@TaygetaBlue]

Also, the documentary that you recommended isn't available to watch in the US. I just attempted!

[@charleswhitney7276]

I was just looking for it as well! Does anyone know where 29,173nm can be streamed?

[@charleswhitney7276]

The answer was just a few comments below. Thanks @PlanetSailOnline.

[@pauldamian2988]

@@charleswhitney7276 yes, except that it won't play in the US.

[@MarijnKirpensteijn]

Thanks!

[@joschmoyo4532]

Pay attention ETNZ. Your air pressure blown foils wont make much duffurunce on this circuit. It takes real men to rough it through this one. Vive La France. Vive wind power.

[@kwerk2011]

Gee, INEOS is taking a long time to complain about this cheating, aren't they. One would be forgiven for thinking they haven't paid any mind to it whatsoever.

[@joschmoyo4532]

@kwerk2011 They are smart enough to realise that any attempt to prove the cheat beyond doubt would be a very expensive protracted legal exercise. But the doubt and the cheat will continue to erode ETNZ'S reputation internationally. And next time your squirt gun won't escape attention until it's to late. Last minute rudder change. Pressure failure race 5 and 6. Self evident air cavitation bubbles at low speeds caught on camera. Going faster in lower air pressure. Ah, the list just goes on and on and on. 😆 🤣 😂 . Everybody who counts knows what you fool's did. The cheat of the century.....congrats on pulling it off. Next time you advantage will be lost because the secret is exposed. But not the secrets of INEOS. Superior engineering, superior tactics, superior performance without blowing. They won the challenger's cup. You stole the other one.

[@joschmoyo4532]

Excellent. Gotta love the French spirit. And they don't cheat, unlike the Kiwi's.

[@davidtydeman1434]

That comment is not very nice- if it were true I am sure there would have been a protest or court case like previous Americas Cups.

[@richardstonhold2615]

Pip will go fast and be safe; from a Brit, but a non-sailor
