Happy New year Vendée skippers..💫 For most it was a 366 day year.. ..🙄🤣🤣

[@markosterman4974]

If some of the competitors at the back of the fleet are already in the new year, ahead of Boris, does that make them in the lead of the race?😀😉

For ould long Times, Prosit Neujahr🎉

[@petertaylor8922]

The boat is either on a Starboard or Port TACK....A GYBE is a downwind MANEAUVER where the wind passes behind the stern. Terminology is important.

[@Sail-World]

A tack is also manoeuvre and it is common parlance to refer to a boat being on a certain gybe when sailing downwind, as opposed to being on a certain tack upwind. Context is important.

[@petertaylor8922]

@Sail-World I agree a 'tack' is a monoever...bow passes through the eye of the wind. The 'Col. Regs' states two sail boats on a collision course, 'Port tack gives way to Starboard tack' (referencing the side of the boat the wind is coming over). I don't care about 'common parlance' .... Gybe is as I described.

[@petertaylor8922]

@@Sail-World So according to you it's "common parlance" to call the bow the pointy end....or the Head the Loo. Landlubber speak.

[@madisonian50]

Do folks think Charlie and Yoann simply have slightly faster boats, sail slightly better or got lucky?

[@tomhermens7698]

First that entered the 2025 time zone should be declared the winner 😂 !!!!

[@bevforrester]

Shouldn't be whistling unless you want high winds.

[@suebrown5247]

It's unlucky to whistle at sea unless you want the wind.

[@Sail-World]

Sorry, I completely disagree with that. My dad whistled the entire time, with no ill luck whatsoever!
