Vendée Globe Tuesday 7th January Update - Don't Look Down!

by Mark Jardine 7 Jan 08:43 GMT 7 January 2025

Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance continues to lead Yoann Richomme on PAPREC ARKÉA on their journey up the North Atlantic in the Vendée Globe, with Sébastien Simon on Groupe Dubreuil crossing the equator.

We witness Boris Herrmann's mast climb, where he confronts his fear of heights, then hear from Nico Lunven and Sam Goodchild, who are taking very different routes in the South Atlantic.

We then discuss the latest tracker, and the options the skippers are taking, the leaderboard, and the PredictWind routing options for Charlie Dalin.

We conclude with an extended interview by Dee Caffari with leader Charlie Dalin.
