Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

In the meantime the leading eight IMOCA boats are within 140 nm of each other and there are 2 female skippers in that group. Quite a race going on between the leading eight.

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

I do know that he had over 4,000 miles on the boat before the race but I don't know how many of those were solo and not sure what they mean by "make an approved solo passage of 2000 miles". It would...

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

I do believe that skippers who have completed a previous Vendee Globe already qualify.

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

They said it happened this morning but I had suspected they were having other problems yesterday as they had slowed dramatically. However, they did also say they had been sailing at around 25 knots...

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

Alex and Neal have hit something and the keel of Hugo Boss is just hanging on by the hydraulic ram. They have retired from the race and will try to make it to shore.

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

Yeah, I saw that too but it looked like they were almost stopped for a while yesterday and they certainly aren't going much faster than any of the others around them most of the time. I wonder how...

Alex and Neal have gained 9 positions in the last day. Incredible.

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

Alex posted a video and they have torn a sail. He is still hopeful that the western route will work out when the leaders hit a high pressure ridge. It looks like he and a few others have committed to...

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

They are all looking at the same weather pattern its just a matter of interpretation and strategy. Getting pushed farther and farther away from the great circle route is dangerous strategy. Its a...

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

I know about the low but it seems to have moved a bit to the west or remained stationary. To go around it is very long distance and in the meantime they have fallen over 100 kn miles behind the...

Re: Transat Jacques Vabray

Oops, I wonder if Alex has made a mistake in heading to far west. He has slipped to 17th place in the IMOCA class and is way north of the pack.

Transat Jacques Vabray

Is anyone else following the Transat Jacques Vabray? I'm watching Hugo Boss climbing her way up in the standings. According to Alex Thomson they can do 30 knots in 18 knots of wind.
