You asked for feedback, we gave it and you responded with this high quality show. I absolutely loved it. Bravo
They sure did. Great job. I love the improvements.
The last scene of 11th hour is impressive absolutely impressive.
The candy stayed on the boat 😅😅😅😅😅
I would like to see more about the crew living conditions. Sleeping arrangements. Toilet stuff (poop bags?). Fresh water capacity. Food.
Love the fast sailing though.
I second that!! Would love to see more about the living conditions please.
Simon fisher you rock! Keep it up 11th hour.
Great show, thanks Niall and to all of the team producing these segments.
Fun show! Abby is amazing, love her! Keep it up Niall!
Now that's better: Thanks for listening, giving us more technical insights and generally satisfying the sailing geeks among us
New thumbnails and title copy look great. Nice little DTL widget on the map too. 👍
The pairs are running with a main person, with the other person being more of an active standby. That's why the first person changes in-between shifts.
Niall, going strong with interesting topics and vids- Cheers.
thanks so much for the great show and all the information. Good job Niall and team!!! Can't wait for the next episode. jbtw: good to hear from Boris, miss him on the boat and his regular comments (looking back to vendee globe)
Thanks again for the Show.
Excellent report!
Another stellar show!
QUESTION: The Ocean Race is obviously dangerous as some have sadly lost their lives in years past. What are the safety protocols on the boats and have any changed since the last race?
Guys this was a wonderful video to watch by the fire with my cat on my lap. Truly great insights and I chuckled at the PRB track line drawing a stubby keel of a 30ft cruising boat 🤭
got chill from the outro
thank you so much ocean race!
Thats exactly what Peter Blake did when he broke his mast in ceramco in 1984 and sailed Jury Rigged. He used what he called the old "clipper route" which is exactly what you are referring to going the longer way. This route take the boats into the southern Atlantic trade winds.
I actually got the book he wrote about that race last year and I’m super-excited to read it this year as the current edition is going on!
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664 he was a legend. Gone to soon - he was still around to see how the Whitbread changed since he started.
Great show. Thank you !
Excellent program.
Great tech info all along the video - !!!!
Niall, great show as usual, and if you please...her name is
ZjuiceTEEN MehTROE, her Swiss French Pronunciation. Thank you Sir.
Niall is an absolute rockstar presenter. I feel like I am getting a true inside look at the race teams and the challenges they face.
I reckon his name is on your briefs
Thanks a lot for this great report!
“Holy Schnikees!”
Awesome update!!! Thanks! Very beautiful scenery and interesting info. I wonder what goes through the bird's mind when they come across a place they can land for a few minutes in the middle of the ocean..... " Oh hell yeah a boat!!! I'm gonna land here and take a load off my wings, clean up a little and recharge before I fly another 100 miles!! " 🤪
Merci à nos amis anglo-saxons pour couvrir cette course. Mais le Vendée globe reste le top, et les français les meilleurs marins du monde.
VO65 mystery?!
Great show....but...how do I get the 11th Hour shirt like the one Simon Fisher wears?
I've checked Musto and Amazon. Niall, I need answers
Niall, early in today's show, said that hourly, an "average" speed was shown. The speed differences are consistently GREATER than the knots made up in an hour. On the tracker right now, GUYOT is a 9n/h while Holcim is at 22.4n/h. Holcim has gained only 6 nms, while we might expect more than double that. I realize that heading also comes into play. There is also a delay between the speed and the distance gained/lost. What sort of AVERAGE is going into the speed computation. Is it distance divided by second, minute, hour? With the update, GUYOT is now at 22.1 and Holcim at 15.2 and rather than gaining, Holcim lost 1.5nm. Looks to me like your speed "average" is in much too tight a time frame. Thoughts?
Hi John! Good spot. Race Control might not be ranking the boats by measuring distance to the finish. Sometimes, the boats are racing in a direction away from the finish, so that wouldn't be accurate. In this case, Race Control will measure to a "virtual" gain point where we know the sailors are heading. A little slight of hand behind the scenes, but it means the ranking reflects who is actually winning.
@@TheOceanRace Good to know and an excellent data adjustment. What I was asking was what time window sets the 'average' speed. It seems much too volatile - considering how incredibly close the leaders are after 3,000 nm. Suggests a bit wider timeframe to calculate 'average' speed.
3° north of equator to equator is not “about 180nm”, it is exactly 180nm. 3° is 180 minutes and, going n-s, 180 minutes is 180nm.
Excellent show!
A different kind of question and maybe not one for Niall, but, how does "the Ocean race" fund itself? How does all this happen? Do the boats have to pay a fee and where does the money come from? Surely not from UA-cam revenues. I'm sure it's complex .
Thanks for the race and the show!
This show is Great! But i miss nialls daily Quick Updates like he did in the Last Edition. I wish there could be a quick daily Update with Niall. Otherwise great Show.
Also electricity generation, batteries and especially the various instruments in use. What data metrics do they have?
Hi! We looked at this in Friday's show.
What was the dark grey bird on team Malitzia
Any Green Comet shots from the teams?
Oh, good question! I bet it must be really dark out in the middle of the ocean, but I’m not sure if the OBRs’ equipment is ideal for Astrophotography.
Great, high quality content, thank you very much for the work! I'd be interested to learn more about nutrition part of this high performance sailing adventure, what do they mix, cook, drink, consume etc. Is it all powder or there some variety. Does anybody know if this has been covered before?
Hi! It's mostly freeze-dried food, cooked with fresh water, produced by their watermaker on board. Before each leg, the meals are carefully planned for each sailors' nutritional need, and the forecasted weather ahead.
Great stuff as usual! Question: do they have on board any sort of computer predictive software? What I am thinking is something that would take the weather model and then run thru a bunch of possible courses in an effort to find the fastest one? Sort of the way a race team would run thru models of a road race with various pit stop and fueling strategies to come up with the best one.
Hi Paul! Yes, in the sailing world there are a few high-powered navigation programmes, and you can sometimes see these been used by the navigators on the screens. However, like all good tools, the navigation software is not doing the work, is how the sailors use it.
Somehow I can't find data to the VO 65 boats, are they not racing? What did I miss?
Who create the images from the air
What does the high pitch whistle from the foils do to the sailors hearing? Short term and long term?
Hi! They take ear plugs so at the very least we know it's uncomfortable.
Where can I watch the Volvos I haven't seen a single thing about them since the race started
That's because they aren't racing this leg
The VO65s only race in legs 1, 6 and 7
The pandemic postponed the 2020 Volvo Ocean Race twice to 2023 and then Volvo pulled away as main sponsor. The new organisation was happy to at least have 5 entries for the IMOCA 60, branded as The Ocean Race, but decided to limit the remaining VO65s to 3 legs (1 6, 7) to keep the logistics costs manageable, newly branded as The Ocean Race Sprint Cup. That's why the VO65s do not sail around the world anymore
Does anyone know where the weather data they use during the ocean race come from?
Hi! A huge long list of sources the sailors knowing which ones are more accurate for the area of the world they are in.
Everyone pausing at 14' 😏
basically vo65>>>>>>>>>>
No
Calm down
Right, flax will be used until they arbitrarily decide flax is a precious commodity and create yet another limited resource. Just my opinion - I am not a fan of or believer in "the cause", but really, really enjoy the technology and unparalleled dedication by all the teams. It is admirable to see them participate in science to collect information for scientists.
