Vendée Globe Thursday 2nd January Update - Icebergs!

by Mark Jardine 2 Jan 07:18 GMT 2 January 2025

While at the front Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance holds a slim lead over Yoann Richomme on PAPREC ARKÉA, it is icebergs to the south of Point Nemo which are the concern in the Vendée Globe.

We hear from Conrad Colman about the icebergs, Clarisse Crémer who has rounded Cape Horn and a New Year's Eve update from Giancarlo Pedote in the Pacific Ocean which we received yesterday.

We then discuss the latest tracker, leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for both Charlie Dalin and Séb Simon.

We conclude with a clip from Sébastien Marsset in the iceberg zone.
