Vendée Globe Sunday Morning Update - Close Cross in the Pacific!

by Mark Jardine 22 Dec 09:26 GMT 22 December 2024

Yoann Richomme on Paprec Arkéa took the lead in the Vendée Globe on Saturday, and continues his charge towards Cape Horn, but Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance seems unfazed, biding his time for when the Atlantic conditions may suit him and his IMOCA design better.

Elsewhere, Boris Herrmann has moved up to 7th, overtaking Yannick Bestaven in a very close Pacific Ocean cross, Sam Goodchild updates us from Vulnerable, Boris Herrmann dreams of a white Christmas, and Paul Meilhat is trying to stop his boat leaking.

As always, we bring you the latest tracking, leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for Richomme and also Thomas Ruyant, who has a storm to contend with approaching Cape Horn.

Additionally, we bring you an update from Pip Hare on her slow boat to Melbourne, Australia after her dismasting.
