Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

It's at times like this that we need a "Cruiser of the Month" award. Polux would win hands-down in my opinion, for the last 3 months! Mr. Polux, if we ever have the good fortune to meet in person,...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

Generally agree, but I don't think it will take any major mistake on either of their parts, just a little one. With them so close, and the majority of the rest of the race on starboard tack, the...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

See section 22.2.1 of the race instructions, https://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/download/23202/. This seems to explicitly prohibit external modifications to onboard systems, which would include software...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

I wonder why the official Vendee Globe website (and by extension their mobile app) is so slow to update with the kind of information Polux is getting for us. Still no mention on their site of...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

Things are looking up for Thomas. The NZ Coast Guard are now alongside and he is getting all the assistance he needs, and is hopeful about saving the boat. Much respect for him working so hard to...

Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

I like your agenda :-). It's more cultural than language related, I think. In America there are so many other things competing for attention that things like sailing get lost in the noise. Not a...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

I think Polux deserves a "chapeau" award for his stellar work updating us all on the goings-on in the Vendée fleet. I, for one, am riveted by the unfolding drama, both at the front of the fleet, and...

Re: Vendee Globe Starts Today, Facts, Video, Discussion

Very cool video of Romain Attanasio anchored in Simonstown fixing his rudders! I grew up in Simonstown and learned to sail there - brings back lots of good memories, and not just a little nostalgia...
