- Join us today for some extra special onboard footage! As the brave skippers in the 2024 VendeeGlobe around the world sailing/foiling race, battle the emotional challnge of being stuck in the HIgh pressure zone ahead of the Cape of good hope. With not much more options then to wait for wind to find them.
Meanwhile Charlie Dalin and the other front runners are extending their leads at speed, and the non-foiler group in the back is quickly racing up to the second foiler group. One thing is for sure! This race is far from over!
Make sure you have you coffee ready! Because Sea Wolves Vendeeglobe 2024 report is BACK!

That was the best opening yet, what a legend Pip is!!!
Great show as always, thanks. We should also recognise that Damien Seguin is also sailing this race single handed, as it were
We like Pip. Never forget that she sailed the oldest boat in the fleet in 20/21, chartered and prepared on a shoestring - but prepared and sailed so well so that she came 19th.
Now she's back on a modified 2015 boat, but of course without the resources of the big teams and with a slower boat than any foiling boat launched 2020 onwards. She does exceptionally well under the circs. Her enthusiasm is infectious.
Pip's the bomb. I tell my friends to watch Seawolves and check out these amazing women taking every wave the leaders take. They are my heroes in a long line since Chichester.
I'm sure she would be deeply humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as Chichester. But yes, different times but same intrepid, can-do, intelligent attitude.👍
Pip message is so cool! So crazy to be in the middle of nowhere and see another boat on the horizon. At the 1900FR update, Ferre and Dorange are less than 2nm apart!!!
It may simplify the discussion of high and low pressure systems to think of the highs as descending masses and the lows as rising masses of air. In essence vacuuming up what the highs are putting down. You’re doing the best analysis of this race I’ve encountered.
I am absolutely in awe with Jingkun Xu doing it with one arm. I'm speechless.
Cheers Pip! My favorite skipper!
I love your commentary. Watch every morning upon waking. Thank you from New Zealand
Another great analysis Best Vendee reports Flo
Great show. TRAFFIC. Good grief!
Awesome how hard and beatiful is this race
I would like to know a bit more about the motivation of the different sailor's to start im the Vendée Globe. There obviously is the group with the new foiling boats who is in it to win it, but those with older non- foiling boats know that they only have a very small chance to win. Of course there is the aspect of adventure and an extraordinary experience, but in the end it is a competition.
Do you know if non foilers have their own class or are they all racing in open category? And to answer your question at least a bit, some of them do this to challenge themselves, some to be in the group of round world solo sailors, which counts very few people. Its hard to find accurate info because some of them sailed with stops, some of them used canals, but it was 200 in 2013 so extreme rare thing to do
Maybe a piece on how the different skippers manage their sleep. Can't imagine trying to sleep in a foiling race yacht going 30 knots. As alway, great content, Wolfman. The best out there.😊
It is ok in these boats, they re note as prone to the nose dive.
I asked about this a couple of days ago too. I would love to know their secrets
I think I have watched every episode. Just great coverage. Thank you.
Thank you for featuring Pip! I'm reading her book now. Interesting to hear her thoughts and experiences from 20/21 and now in this edition of the Vendee.
Have to admire Boris being so honest and open about his emotions. You get to feel what they endure.
I loved seeing Sea Wolves' favorite Pip Hare in the intro!
Thanks for taking time to explain. I know very very little about sailing but this race is compelling. Your explanations are really helpful.
Appreciate your awesome content Flo. Perhaps a short technical segment on topics like power systems, engine/prop and drive systems and rules if used, collision systems onboard for objects in water, lightening systems (carbon is a great conductor) or any other such tech/ops matters 🍻
Pip intro ❤
awesome crossover , good stuff sir :)
Another good update 😊 thanks.
Hi Flow, loving the show!
Especially your weather analysis, might be worth mentioning too, that as the wind pressure doubles the force squares. And how too ad the air gets colder and it becomes more dense which is typical why the wind feels stronger at night.
Always enjoy Pips comments. Four years ago followed her very close. Need to pick this up again. And there is no reason to feel blue. As long she races she has a maximum exposure as personality is as attractive as speed.
A lot of Italians are supporting Giancarlo Pedote. This morning, he did a very emotional short video on his TH-cam channel where he thanks all his fans ❤❤(with subtitles in English)
Florian, I hope you haven't forgotten about Damien Seguin and the fact that he is also a single handed sailor in the truest sense of the word? 😊
He did the last Vendee Globe as well.
So we actually have 2 sailors in this edition that is impaired in the same way. It's seriously impressive to do something like this with only 1 hand, truly inspirational for those of us that haven't even crossed the Atlantic or similar under sail yet!
This is a very technical, mental game. I also do not fully understand how the Chinese sailor does this at this level around the world with only one arm, especially in bad weather at speed. Completely amazing, he must be a hero in China.
I think if you had a whiteboard with rough boat position each day where also you could show predictions and low systems it would really add to your show
Thanks!
For the Q&A:
HTF they can run faster than the wind, without current. At school I always was bad in Physics. But you explain the race, that even I understand.
Thanks for the video!
Great to see Pip !! Go Pip Go 😃
Fantastic show
On Windy, just above the + symbol at the lower right you can turn on pressure isobars while also showing wind!
Hi Florian. Thanks for the show. Yesterday you explained tacking and gybing and briefly talked about the backstays. Could you tell me how far the boom can be moved from one side to the other? I'm wondering how the sail doesnt foul the backstay when tacking or gybing, given that the head of the main sticks out about a metre aft of the mast.
Watching from Sydney and really enjoying it. Thanks. Would love to know more about some of the systems like power generation and water desalination for example.
Hi. Love your stuff. It's hard to find information on competitors that only show in french. Jean le Cam for instance. I'm shure what he is saying is very interesting. Perhaps you could find translations.
Hi Florian. Great channel. I have a couple of questions: 1- what is the point of non-foiler boats with no chance to win the race or do they? 2- could you talk about the best point of sail for foilers and the type of apparent wind they see and experience.
What might happen if a boat hits such a measuring buoy with high speed with its foils..??
problems .... :(
Or a sleeping whale.. or a semy submerged container.. more problems
Another super show, I have a question about the weather foil positions, it seems to this viewer to be extended when sailing deep and flat with smooth seas for more foil surface? And extended upwind for a little more weight outboard? And why does the rule exclude rudder winglets, the sailors ride would be so much more comfortable?
This bottle of Black Jack sitting back there since weeks… have u left it there since u finished that painting on the right alongside with some ketchup and mustard 😂😎😛
Hi there, we have learned a lot of the technical and tactical aspects of the race. I am interested also on the human aspects, especially what kind of nutrition on the boat for such a long time. What amount of Carbohydrates, Proteins and fats are the sailors consume every day? What about toilet? Sea toilet which flushes in the ocean, i assume? What happens if a 3" shit don't pass a 2'' tube 😅.
No toilet.. bucket! 😉
Could you give us more insight as to what the non foilers look like. They seem to be pretty fast too
The Agulhas current carries down debris, we might see some appendage strikes
Are 24hr distance records based on distance across ground (including current effects), water distance or is there a hybrid calculation that is used to correct for currents?
This is the first vendee I am following so I'm still learning a lot. With pretty much everyone outside the top 9 stuck or miles behind, is it reasonable to expect the winner to be one of the top 9 boats or is it realistic to have a bout in 10th-15th catch back up right to the lead?
Pipp is the best 😘
Question: truck drivers spend many hours in their seat which has sophisticated dampers to filter out bumps in the road (in addition to the truck's suspension). Why don't we see that for the skipper's chair in racing yachts?
Richomme has it
What do the sailors do (and are allowed) to do to stay awake if there is no/too little time to sleep (eg in a storm)? Just coffee or energy drinks? Are there "Doping regulations"?
What security system they have in place in case one falls overboard tethered in?
Can you Tell me the Name of the Website for the ship Traffic.
Thank you for you Great Show. I Like the background informations
just google : "marine ais" or "vesselfinder"
What weather routing advice do the racers get from their team
From the tracker it looks like Thomas Ruyant briefly went in to the Ice exclusion zone. Could he get a penalty for that if the data is correct??
The red line he touched isn't the ice exclusion zone. It is the grey zone further south
Can you please describe to us the route the fleet are going to follow around the world? And where they are going to stop to replentish.
They don‘t stop! They have all on board for the whole route, ca. 80 - 100 days
"florian what is the predictive website you use?
I am not a sailor and hence my question - is there a toilet on board and if yes what kind of system (chemical, dry etc.)
It’s a bucket!
They have a bucket and chuck it.
On "normal" boats you usually have a small toilette but it has to fit some rules on what is allowed to go in the oceans
just a bucket...and overboard it goes :)
Florian, whats happening?You look more tired then the sailors after 18 days at sea.
too risk iceberg
Aaahm uuuhm ….is a nogo …more courage for Pauses of silence please
Kaptain Boris has'sa Samsung A1 😊 why look! The double low we prayed four ❤ Our`please pick Yu'r wind velocity carefully Kid's 🐸 we only get one chance at the vector's ñ Header's ☮️ possible Super Storm be careful!! 🧭
