You are my daily "go to" channel, which keeps me in the loop on VG fleet progress with snippets from individual sailors. ❤ it!!! With presently sunny greetings and warm regards from Germany.
@Sail-World Yes, in particular, I was wondering if Sam Goodchild is deliberately holding back a few percent of boat speed (just ensuring that the front does not escape ahead of him). It could just be the limitations of his older boat in the seastate but he seems to be just a few knots slower than his earlier peak speeds. Fascinating stuff.
Great update but....... Why the continual reference to pressure rather than wind? More often than not low (atmospheric) pressure will be associated with stronger winds and vice versa.
Yes, I talk about low pressure systems as to where the wind is, and out on the water I'll often say 'more pressure on the left' when I can see more wind on the water there. Semantics really.
This is stock footage of the IMOCA Paprec Arkea from off the boat. I have to rely on that 99% of the time for any views of the boats sailing. All the onboard footage is from the past 24 hours.
there are probably drones following the pack, they would be sent from whatever safety vessel the racing committee has in this area, or possibly dropped/deployed from an airplane, there are a few airplanes, both military and civilianized, that can do that. probably something like a coastguard spotter, but it can be as small as a large Cessna if they are within range of SA
No. They’re not going 666 miles per hour. 579 nautical miles = 666 miles Knots = speed Nautical mile = distance Do you see the difference? (The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s).)

@@utenorman1283 that's great to hear. Thank you!
Great update, again. Thanks.
Thank you. I do wonder about the wear and tear on the boats. They're going at solo speeds no-one has done before in a difficult seaway.

Thank you for your straight forward unembellished factual commentary
Really glad you like it. I'm still learning, but enjoying creating these videos.
Love the updates ❤️
Thank you! Glad you like them.

Does he really throw out his drone while racing? Or is it just not the actual footage?

@@Sail-World Alright. Thanks your answer and the awesome content.
PAPREC wants to deposit 2 million tons of toxic waste right next to our village Tourtour in provence. That must be some kind of record too.😢

@@stanislavkostarnov2157of course not...
579 knots-666 miles. Talk about going like the devil himself!
No. They’re not going 666 miles per hour.
579 nautical miles = 666 miles
Knots = speed
Nautical mile = distance
Do you see the difference?
(The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s).)

Love the short but effective summaries. 579 nm is crazy fast.
Sure is! Got to think a 600 nm solo 24 hour stretch is on the cards.
@ we shall see in the Southern Ocean.
