I picked up your commentary for the Vendee as well. Thanks for all your work, the insight, and commentary. I'm loving the bold move by Louis Duc! The slingshot move will most certainly be exciting! I'd love to see a few daily video reports from the fleet. Sam Davis, Pip, Conrad, Escoffier et. al! These guys are fixtures in the sailing community. So sweet!

[@ConradHumphreys]

Thanks GroveColo will try and look out for some updates for you.

Will be following along, the offical website does not seem to function for me. GO PIP!

I've finally found what I've been looking for...
I became hooked on the Vendée during lockdown; where Boris and Pip became my faves. In a similar vein, I'm currently tuning in to Don McIntyre's GGR daily updates over morning coffee. However, unlike these two events, RdR/IMOCA racing is a little bit harder to follow - until now, thank you! #NewSubscribe

Thank you Al. I too am enjoying the GGR which I dip into most days.

nice to have someone knowledgeable and speaks english. my french is terrible. I'm mostly interested in the imoca class so any information is appreciated. I'm sure they all want to finish well up in the standings but I believe some just want to finish because they need this race in qualifying for the vende globe. well good luck to them all and that they stay safe. go Pip!

[@ConradHumphreys]

Thanks Doug. I’ll mostly focus on the IMOCA and Class 40 as I’ve had more experience with these classes, but if I see something else in the other classes that is useful will bring it in.

Apologies for my earlier senior moment I got my Conrad’s mix up!
Looking forward to following the race with you and your guests you do such a good job.

[@ConradHumphreys]

Haha no worries Dave. Kiwi Conrad is a great communicator and a fantastic sailor. Easy mistake to make 😂

[@billcochran9141]

Nice to have you back and commentating on the racing.

[@ConradHumphreys]

Thanks Bill, it’s nice to be back after a major house renovation that almost killed me!

[@gethinsalter599]

Conrad do you know if anyone has bought the Arkea paprec imoca yet? Jaun k?

[@ConradHumphreys]

I don’t know Gethin, will try and find out.

Awesome insight thanks. Keen dinghy sailor, but just getting into offshore, so if you could explain things like the “TSS”, that would be most appreciated:)
