by Mark Jardine 1 Jan 08:05 GMT 1 January 2025

Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance leads Yoann Richomme on PAPREC ARKÉA into the new year. Will we see the Vendée Globe record fall in 2025?

We start with New Year's Eve updates from Sam Goodchild and Boris Herrmann, who are enduring uncomfortable conditions in the South Atlantic, with their IMOCA yachts slamming the waves upwind.

We then take a look at the course so far, discuss the latest tracker, leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for both Charlie Dalin in the Atlantic and Clarisse Crémer as she rounds Cape Horn.

We conclude the show with Andi Robertson talking to Conrad Colman.
