by Mark Jardine 23 Jan 2025 09:50 GMT 23 January 2025

Sam Goodchild has managed to fix his mainsail in the Vendée Globe, but Jérémie Beyou, who he was battling with, now has only 300 nautical miles to the finish line, whereas Goodchild has 560 nautical miles to go.

We have updates from Conrad Colman, who has crossed the equator back into the northern hemisphere, Kojiro Shiraishi, who narrowly avoided a fire onboard his yacht, Jungkun Xu in a no wind zone, and Andi Robertson chats with Clarisse Crémer.

We then look at the Tracker, Leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for Sam Goodchild and Justine Mettraux.

We conclude with an update from Oliver Heer.
