- Jean Luc Van Den Heede shatters Sir Robin Knox-Johnston's Sunday Time's1968 Golden Globe Race record by 100 days finishing first in the 2018 Golden Globe Race. See how JLVDH did it from the start to finish of the toughest race in sailing, the GGR2018. Eighteen sailors got to the start line, but only five remained by day 212 of the fiftieth anniversary GGR 2018. Van Den Heede led most of the way as Are Wiig, Abhilash Tomy, Gregor McGucken, Loic Lepage, and Susie Goodall's sailboats were dismasted. This retro race for 32-to-36-foot sailboats runs through the stormy Southern Ocean and even Van Den Heede could not escape unscathed. His boat was pitchpoled a few thousand miles from Cape Horn and he contemplated dropping out. His shrouds were damaged endangering his mast. Vandenheede was able to enact a repair and sailed on more slowly allowing Dutch sailor Mark Slats to almost catch him south of the Azores High. A tactical misstep of motoring though the center of the high instead of sailing more quickly to its west cost Slats any chance of taking the lead short of disaster as Van Den Heede stretched his lead to over 400 nm. This video features commentary from Sunday Time's 1968 race winner English sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston who was the only finisher of the original race in 312 days. Van Den Heede says he was inspired by his contemporary sailor Bernard Moitessier. Jean-Luc Van Den Head was the oldest entrant in the 2018 GGR. The race is his 6th circumnavigation of the Globe. Besides holding the GGR race record Van Den Heed still holds the record for the fastest east to west solo-circumnavigation of the globe. His 36-foot Rustler yacht is named Matmut after his main sponsor.

Fantastic achievement , well done , a great sailor & a great man . from sailorbill in NZ.
Nice video. Much respect for all the sailors who started this epic race. Just preparing the boat and gear is a major challenge. Then comes the personal prep and training which can take a lifetime. And once you're off, there's problems of every kind to contend with. In the end it comes down to your boat and gear, which you've prepped as best you can, the weather which you can't control and your own self, a true test of stamina and skill.
It's easy to watch from afar and say what they did right and wrong, but in the end only those sailors can know what it was truly like. Kudos all around and especially to Van den Heede and Slats.
Great video , very nice work Linus !
Congartulations! Bravo, Jean- Luc!
Congratulations Jean luc van. Mark, hopefully next time, this time it was for Jean luc.
Wow! Never heard of the race as I am a novice to all this. The 50th edition since 1968! With 18 ordinary boats on the start and only 4 finish, circum navigating the globe. Mind boggling, hair rasing excitement! Congratulations to Jean Luc Van De Heerde, what an achievement! Deep respect for all competitors for so much courage and resillience.
Whishing everyone fair winds and save sailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
P.s. Van De Heerde last name is actually typically Dutch and Heerde is pronounced as “Hear-duhh”).
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Jean Luc !!! The Iron man of the Sea.
What a beautiful accomplishment.
What a man !
Respect!!! All I wanna know is who puts a thumbs down on this video?
Respect VDH 👍⛵🤩
...yeah, by getting information the other competitors didn’t get.....
Who was your favorite GGR 2018 competitor? Who did you like best in the 1968 race? See what happened to the youngest entrant and the only woman in the 2018 race Susie Goodall:

wish i can do the golden globe
Only now I heard about the competition rule, that it had to be a pre-1988 design. Rustler 36 from 1980.So my surprise is justified.
Why did they allow stainless steel terminals? Moitessier did not have them..... p.
Peter Weltweit believe it or not we had stainless steel back in 1980!
@@CheersWarren I dont know who you are... but it is supposed to be a revival of the 68 race for what I read. and at least Moitessier did not have them and looking at the corrosion streaks on Robin s boat I doubt that he had them installed. thx, p.
@@CheersWarren second thought. did you notice the high percentage of dismasting and rolls?
I singlehanded Atlantic 5 times on a different boat designs.(and twice only with bungee cord steering. ) For a race like Golden Globe I would like to sail a moderate fin keel with skeg rudder. Old S&S design f.e. They set up a rule maybe?? that flips boats... full keel, attached rudder. slow reaction on autopilot impulse. . imho ridiculous. thx. peter
the comeback of stern hung rudders?
what is the boat design please? thx, peter
its a rustler 36 ??
You might be confusing the Hydrovane wind vane with the rudder. It’s a Rustler 36 sailboat.
why would you think that,, it does have a stern hung rudder !!
@@SlowBoatSailing Rustler 36 HAS a stern hung rudder. p.
@@roderickmchardy3650 ?? Stern rudders are unusual for ruiser racers nowadays. p.
What was the tactical error that mark slats made. I keep hearing that but no one mentions what the error was?
He sailed into the no-wind zone of the Azores high. He could have gone faster if he sailed to the west of it. The fastest way to France was sailing more or less due north and hitting the westerlies around 40N. I have a post race interview with Mark and he says part of the problem was he was not getting weather updates via HAM andJLVDH was. I’ll release that interview on the channel at some point.
Sailing against a frenchman was the mistake. The first fair playing frenchman is yet to be born.
@@Koolteer ???!
@@19Edurne
Truth hurts. Sorry.
@@Koolteer I just don't understand what is the foul play you allude to. I fail to see how Van Den Heede is responsible for Slats' choice.
