Who to Watch and Why - Vendee Globe 2020 21

- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- A record entry that includes some seriously fast boats and hot competiton, some are saying that the Vendee Globe race record could tumble once again. Others question whether the new breed are robust enough to go the full distance while others ask whether the skippers can take the physical punishment. The bottom line is that it's going to be one hell of a race - Here's Matt Sheahan's view on some of the hot shots and why

I don't think even Alex and his team know yet what the Hugo Boss is capable of, but we will all know soon enough. My best wishes for the "Boss" and her very personable skipper.
I am supporting Pip on Medalia - she probably has the slowest boat, but what a spirit and fight just to get to the start line
You forgot to mention another new boat, CORUM skippered by Nicolas Troussel, designed by Juan K
CORUM looking extremely quick already
I approve. It looked beasty at the start. Really flat, really smooth, really fast. And led the race until the turn an hour ago ?
Sadly, now dismasted...
@@hannaericksson3450 sadly yes, he was 4th at the time
L’occitane is the most underrated boat for sure. My favourite to take it this year
I agree. Perhaps a little behind in the miles but what a designer!
It's the future of the IMOCA Class for sure, but Armel Tripon (an excellent sailor) hasn't got that much of solo racing on this boat. And those beasts are a hell to handle.
L’Occitane, Corum and Charal for me
Might do one on entry costs,
boat, training, supplies,
support,
75+ days off $work
at their respective pay levels,
etc
Fantastic footage and journalism. Thank you for this channel.
Nice production! Nice story. Give post a raise. Thanks. Will definitely be watching the race with interest.
Advantage: Alex in the HUGO BOSS... watch the start and the first few days as he opens up the BOSS to performance sailing.
Time for de-brief: Hugo Boss did not finish, Charal had to return just after race start. Of the high performance club, only Apivia could live up to its promise.
There have been a lot of instances where technology has made a sport more dangerous whether it is auto racing or downhill skiing. These new boats are concerning for the punishment they met out to sailors which could prove to be fatal in a race of this nature. I am all for technological advancement, but they may have to institute design rules to make it safer for the sailors. It’s a great race but not one worth dying over.
not one worth dying over is up to them
Thanks for the video, keep em coming! I hope you are doing frequent updates when the race is on!
No Corum? Really good design in my eyes, was leading the race few hours ago

i dont think many of those foils will last in the southern ocean. do they carry spares!
Alex Thomsons starboard foil actually snapped last time around but most surivie it as far as I know,. I doubt they carry spares as they're huge, and since Hugo boss were using lightweight hinges on their cupboards and using the least glue they possibly could to save weight I'd be surprised if they stuck a spare foil in there. Plus I don't see how the skipper could swap in the new one
@@darraghobrien1028 Hugo Boss lost the foil not by wear and tear but by hitting a submerged object.
And he lost it off the coast of argentina after just 11 days on sea if i remember correctly.
I wish all a good race
What a gut busting race.
Go Alex all the best from Australia bring it on!!!!
6 women. Cool beans. Isabelle must be pleased
to see it.
There is another "competitor", the sea, and it may be in the same state as in 1991...
Didn't know they were still holding the Vendee Globe race. I can't think of anything that fills me more with a sense of awe and wonder along with equal parts fear and terror. For a really good read and sense of the race, there's a book by Derek Lundy called Godforsaken Sea all about the 1996-97 race. Excellent book.
When does tbe race start? I'm reading the comments suggesting a week or so ago?
Thank you for this informative und impressing video. We follow the single sailors on their daily lifestreams
Crowhurst brought me here.
thanks for the widio -- please do more - u r great - thanks
Awesome!
Why wouldn't you watch it?!
Boris Herrmann!!!
Thanks for the great content!
Great coverage! Keep up the good work
When's the start?
It was today!
What do these boats cost?
T C lots
My bet is that half of them will retire.
Covid is a world wide joke and should have no bearing on these awesome boats and courageous skippers.
Take off those ridiculous paper masks that do absolutely nothing and get on with life.
God bless all the teams and skippers.
What have masks got anything to do with it
The relatives of those who died, don't laugh too much, look if you're still going cry...
WATCH WHAT???? REALLY SUCKS
