In 2024 both Ronnie Simpson and Bryan Fuller had an ocean adventure. Ronnie was solo sailing in a race around the world. Bryan doing one of the only Atlantic crossings from Boston to London in a rowboat. Neither event is simple or easy. Both men are experts. Each mission failed...and both boats were abandoned during their attempts. Bryan and Ronnie don't know one another, yet, they have much in commo. Ronnie returns for his second visit to the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. With Bryan Fuller the founder of Boarder Rowers and Power Rowing of Brookline Mass. Ronnie Simpson is a 39-year-old professional racing sailor from the United States of America who aims to sail in the 2028 Vendee Globe. Recently, Ronnie was the skipper of the Open 50 Shipyard Brewing which competed in the first-ever Global Solo Challenge in 2023-24. Sailing in a strong third place for most of the race, Ronnie unfortunately dismasted off of Argentina in February 2024 and Shipyard Brewing was lost at sea. Having completed 80% of a singlehanded racing circumnavigation and rounding all of the three great capes including Cape Horn, Ronnie's resolve to race the Vendee Globe is now only stronger.

Retiring renters in Australia face homelessness; a criminal trial set to begin for those accused of murdering Indigenous teenager Cassius Turvey; and, in sport, at the age of 23, Violette Dorange has become the youngest sailor to finish the Vendee Globe.

Solo racer Pip Hare's amazing adventure Today we'll talk about the incredible journey of solo racing sailor Pip Hare. She was competing in the round the world Vendee Globe race in mid December, when her boat was severely damaged and lost its mast. Instead of calling for rescue or abandoning the boat, Hare used broken parts and a small sail to create a small makeshift rig, and slowly sailed 700 miles to Melbourne, Australia.

Über Andreas hat Segelreporter bereits letztes Jahr vor seiner Teilnahme an der Transat Jacques Fabre ein Porträt geschrieben. Der Mann aus Kiel plant auch seine eigene IMOCA-Kampagne. Umso besser, dass der Elektronikspezialist diese Vendee Globe aus nächster Nähe begleitet – als Teammitglied des bisherigen Überfliegers dieser Regatta, Sébastien Simon. Sein Schützling hat im Atlantik den Einhand-Rekord für Monohulls auf unglaubliche 614,25 Meilen in 24 Stunden hochgesetzt, ist aber inzwischen nur noch mit einem Foil unterwegs. Wie dieser Foilbruch zu bewerten ist.

Esto significa que ya no puede maniobrar su barco. El patrón del Bureau Vallée se tomó el tiempo de evaluar los daños, de intentarlo todo para repararlos y de pensar mucho antes de decidirse a abandonar. Después de haber reparado solo graves grietas en su barco en el mar hace quince días, este segundo daño importante ha afectado sustancialmente a la integridad de su barco en un momento en que las condiciones climáticas en el Océano Austral son extremadamente exigentes. Kojiro Iraishi Después de que su IMOCA traslucho violentamente dos veces seguidas, sufrió cinco sables rotos y algunos de los vagones de la vela mayor se desprendieron del riel de la vela mayor . Por lo demás, el barco y el mástil están intactos y Kojiro está ileso. El patrón ha cambiado de rumbo hacia el NE para encontrar mejores condiciones meteorológicas para realizar algunas reparaciones.

Vendee Globe sailor Pip Hare returns to the show for a 3rd time only one month before the start of her second Vendee Globe. In 2020, Pip became only the 8th woman to ever complete the Vendee Globe, and on a shoestring, crowdfunded budget to boot. In the years since, Pip has parlayed that hard work and early success into a second campaign aboard a new, faster and foiling IMOCA 60. I caught up with Pip to talk about everything from her fitness routine to making an IMOCA 60 fly in this super fun and meandering episode.

Timo and Jo bought NV, a 66' IMOCA ex-Vendee Globe sailboat and converted her into a family cruiser, without sacrificing performance. The draft is still 4.5m and the mast 100'. NV was originally designed, built & raced by famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa. He competed in her in the 1992 Vendée Globe finishing 5th, becoming the first non-frenchman to finish. When I spoke with Timo and Jo, they were in Lombok, Indonesia, preparing to go see the dragons on Komodo Island. We also talk about moving from a Young Sun 35 to the IMOCA racer, modifications to the boat to make it a family cruiser, maintaining the boat's weight, why we love sailing, and lots more.  Support the show with Patreon patreon.com/paultrammell Shownotes are here https://www.paultrammell.com/podcast-season-7

We discuss the events leading up to the dismasting, making the decision to call for rescue, as well as the race, details about sailing a thirty-year-old open 50 in an around-the-world race, Cape Horn, sleeping, the beauty of sailing in the Southern Ocean, fears, emotions, and Ronnie's future plans of a Vendee Globe campaign.

Tales from Sailing Folk Lore with British Adventurer Pete GossThis month, Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast talks to British offshore adventurer Pete Goss, an accomplished offshore sailor famed for executing one of the bravest solo ocean rescues of all time.Talking at his home in the south west corner of the UK, Robertson and Goss kick their discussion off with chat about his formative years, his time in the British Marines, and how, in the nineteen nineties,  he found a love of offshore sailing through Chay Blyth's British Steel Challenge, a round the world yacht race that was the forbearer to today's amateur offshore circumnavigation events.  Goss was an instructor and skipper on the first event, and it was during that time, he hatched a plan to enter the Vendee Globe, the legendary non stop solo offshore race also, in the mid nineties, in it's infancy.As one of the first British entrants in the then famously French race, Goss' tales of pre-internet sponsorship gathering are inspiring, and with a new boat, he managed to make the start line, for the third running of the race.  What followed was one of the most brutal editions the Vendee Globe has ever seen.  Of the sixteen boats that crossed the start line, just six finished.  Tragically, one competitor, Canadian Gerry Roufs was lost at sea,  but it was the rescue of French sailor Raphael Dinelli that for several days between Christmas and New Year 1996, was headline news around the world.Pete's telling of the rescue, his memories of the vicious Southern Ocean storm, and his fight to find Dinelli's rapidly sinking boat are compelling.  At times emotional, Goss describes how he first heard the mayday while himself fighting for survival in the relentless storm, and how his radio comms with the Royal Australian Airforce eventually led him to the boat...:"The plane that had dropped him a raft came down to me, and they came up on the VHF so I remember chatting to them, and I said 'How many people are involved', because I was still  seventy miles away or whatever, 'how many people are involved in the rescue', and he just said 'It's you!'"With guidance from the Royal Australian Airforce plane, Goss found Dinelli's life raft and in a heaving Southern Ocean swell, somehow effected the rescue of a near death Raphael Dinelli.  He had arrived just in time...:"I met the pilot and the navigator (of the RAAF plane) a year later at the boat show and from the air they saw this figure clamber into the raft and then the boat just ghosted away and disappeared underneath it."It's an emotional and intense telling of a remarkable story, that continues into the second part of this two part podcast, as Pete sails on, determined to finish his Vendee Globe - in Part 2 Robertson discusses the impact he rescue had on Goss, before going on to discuss his next major project, the famous TEam Philips multihull project.Support the show

Tales from Sailing Folk Lore with British Adventurer Pete GossThis month, Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast talks to British offshore adventurer Pete Goss, an accomplished offshore sailor famed for executing one of the bravest solo ocean rescues of all time.Talking at his home in the south west corner of the UK, in Part 1 Robertson and Goss kick their discussion off with chat about his formative years, his time in the British Marines, and how, in the nineteen nineties,  he found a love of offshore sailing through Chay Blyth's British Steel Challenge.  Episode 1 goes on to see the pair discuss the dramatic ocean rescue that took place in Pete's 1996 Vendee Globe race, as he recalls the events oc Christmas 1996 that saw him rescue French sailor Raphael Dinelli.It's an emotional and intense telling of a remarkable story, that continues into tis episode, the second part of this two part podcast, as Pete sails on, determined to finish his Vendee Globe.His return saw him awarded an MBE from Her Majesty the Queen, and the Legion d'Honneur by then French President Jacques Chirac.  Undeterred, Goss immediately launched his next project, taking part in Bruno Peyron's ambitious concept, "The Race".To take on the no-rules round the world challenge, Goss built one of the most futuristic race boats the sport had ever seen.  His insights into the project, and the theories behind his Team Philips multihull are fascinating.  With an educational division and a free visitors' centre that saw over 1.2million visitors, Pete's pride in the project is clear to see.  Sadly, just weeks before the New Year start of The Race, the project abruptly ended, after the catastrophic loss of the catamaran in a violent North Atlantic storm.Throughout his career Pete Goss has embarked on a multitude of groundbreaking projects, and while this edition sees him concentrate on two of his more famous endeavours, he also discusses the delightful "Spirit of Mystery" project, a challenge born from Cornish folk lore that ended up in the recreation of one of the bravest offshore navigations of the 1800s.Support the show

This month, Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast hosts one of offshore sailing's most accomplished names, as multiple world record holder Brian Thompson drops in for a two part chat about being one of the fastest offshore sailors on the planet.By his own admission, multihull expert Brian Thompson doesn't even know himself how many offshore World Records he's held, but in his opening chat with Robertson, the modest British sailor does admit to knowing for a fact that no one in sailing has ever held more than he has!  From Trans-Atlantics to circumnavigations, the final figure is up in the forties, a fact Brian attributes to a long time spent sailing with American adventurer Steve Fossett...:"Steve was a remarkable guy who was obsessed, and fascinated with breaking world records, and not just in sailing, but in all sorts of sports, so I think it all started with him, and we probably got fifteen world records with Steve, and later on with Lloyd Thornburg on Phaedo, we got another ten. Sometimes I've done the same record multiple times...round Britain three times, round the world twice, so in all I've probably broken near forty world records!"Further into this first Episode, Robertson and Thompson discuss Brian's first circumnavigation record onboard Fossett's PlayStation, called Cheyenne at the time of the record attempt, and his growing ability to safely sail big boats fast in big seas.  It's now something that Thompson is well known for, and as his career developed, he was in increasing demand, finding himself on a star studded  ABN AMRO I as stand in helm for a southern ocean Volvo Ocean Race leg that would prove pivotal to the team's overall Race win...:"I really concentrate on getting a maximum VMG where there is a sweet spot where if you go half a degree lower you're just going to fall of the cliff and stop.  You could be a little bit higher, and you're doing a nice boat speed, and it's all very easy but to be gaining that extra one or two degrees of depth you have to play with fire, and I really enjoy that!"Into Part 2 and the sailing chat continues as Brian reveals the many difficulties experienced throughout much of his solo Vendee Globe campaign of 2008, before moving onto his sensational Jules Verne record onboard Loick Peyron's Banque Populaire V, a forty five day, thirteen hour record that stood for five years.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

We are thrilled to introduce our two new guests. They met on a boat and decided to start a shipping company. They both are committed to succeed on their mission, helped by their passion and their business acumen. One is an accomplished athlete, a sailor whose credentials are world-renowned. The other is an engineer who has worked with success in the automobile industry. Together, with three other partners, they launched VELA Transport. François Gabart and Michael Fernandez-Ferri are our guests and we couldn't be more proud. François competes on the ocean with his state-of-the-art SVR Lazartigue while running his company Mer Concept. He recognized early on that his passion and skill in his racing endeavors could be translated into projects that can transform the way people are going to sea, on a ferry or a cruising boat made of flax.  So why not transpose this expertise into maritime transportation, with a goal to reach the sacrosanct Zero Emission? Francois Gabart's victories in the Vendee Globe in 2012, the Alain Colas Trophy in 2018 and many more, plus the work done by the pioneers at TOWT and Grain de Sail are part of the response. It's a challenge that Francois, Michael, Pascal Galacteros, Pierre Arnaud Vallon and Thibault Charles from VELA feel they have a good shot at and they want to bank on. 

Today's guest is professional declutterer, Jasmine Sleigh who has spent ten years in other people's homes and cupboards. Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Why have I kept that?” Ever looked around your home and wondered if your belongings are helping or overwhelming you? If so it might be time to reflect upon your relationship with your possessions, and one thing you'll realise after today's episode is that you are not alone in feeling conflicted about letting go of ‘stuff'. Jasmine established the Devon based, Change Your Space in 2013, since then she has worked in over a thousand homes. She has a degree in Psychology & Counselling and a post graduate certificate in Change Management, she's also a regional expert for addressing chronic disorganisation and hoarding and works actively with public health and welfare agencies. In her brand new book, Being Owned: A Decade in Professional Decluttering, Jasmine says she ‘wanted to sensitively reflect the world of tackling belongings when people are at crisis level.' You can watch the full interview on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFgmHLcdx28eco-XlkWYwUA  We discuss the emotional ties we may have to our belongings, how people sometimes feel defined by what they own, and the importance of working alongside the people so that they can begin to feel in control. Jasmine imparts some great wisdom around keepsakes, ideas when thinking about what to keep and what to let go and also some practical tips on how to store our beloved keepsakes such as our children's drawings or photos. We also take a look at the controversy surrounding the Vendee Globe yacht race and the motherhood penalty as World class and record breaking sailor Clarisse Cremer is dropped by her corporate sponsor for having a baby.

Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast continues this month with one of offshore sailing's most active campaigners,  a sailor who's career spans two decades at the highest level of the sport and includes a record equaling five Vendee Globe starts.  Alex Thomson, widely known for his Vendee campaigns sailing a series of iconic Hugo Boss IMOCA, has done much to raise awareness of offshore sailing and with his team, has been responsible for some of the most innovative developments the monohull  IMOCA Class has ever seen.Obviously, much of Thomson's discussion in this two part podcast centres around his various Vendee Globe campaigns, but in this first episode there's much discussion about Thomson's early career path, time spent sailing with Sir Robin Knox Johnston and the result of his time spent with British business tycoon Sir Keith Mills...:"We met at Shoreham airport, we flew to Brest, and he bought me a boat for 1.1million Euros....That level of belief, in me, at that time, was difficult to comprehend really."Thomson is candid about his first campaign, as he is throughout the chat with Robertson, and reveals much about how, along with Sir Keith Mills, they brought Hugo Boss into what would go on to become one of the longest sponsorship partnerships in the sport.Thomson has also had an eventful career that's involved a series of very high profile sinkings and race retirements, not least when keel damage to the original Hugo Boss famously left him floundering deep in the South Atlantic.  But the drama doesn't end with keel damage.Having discussed the cause of a very public falling out with fellow British offshore sailor Mike Golding, "...the next day in the Sunday Times, Mike called me a jumped up little prick!", Thomson discusses how, with his keel dangling uselessly from the hull, the only chance of rescue was of course, with Mike Golding, who pulled off a daring rescue with catastrophic circumstances...:"I was on the boat for about three hours...the wind hit, the boat leaned over, and his mast just collapsed, Mike is standing in the cockpit with his mouth open, and I'm now feeling guilty...I said to Mike, 'I am so sorry..."In the second part of this podcast the chat about Thomson's Vendee campaigns continues, , but there's much discussion about his series of daring stunts that have netted him over 10million views on YouTube alone.  Support the show

Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast continues with Part 2  of the fascinating chat with one of offshore sailing's most active campaigners,  a sailor who's career spans two decades at the highest level of the sport and includes a record equaling five Vendee Globe starts.  Alex Thomson, widely known for his Vendee campaigns sailing a series of iconic Hugo Boss IMOCA, has done much to raise awareness of offshore sailing and with his team, has been responsible for some of the most innovative developments the monohull  IMOCA Class has ever seen.Part 1 of  of Thomson's discussion with Robertson takes in Thomson's remarkable career path, time spent sailing with Sir Robin Knox Johnston and his early Vendee Globe campaigns.In this edition, Thomson talks all about the progression in design and build of the IMOCA Class, the now foiling monohull class that he and his team have been key protagonists in developing over the past twenty years of racing.  The duo also cover Thomson's remaining attempts to win the Vendee Globe, and of course discuss the series of sailing stunts that have netted Thomson millions of views on YouTube, taking in the evolution of the idea, the execution of the stunts themselves and Thomson's desire to bring new audiences to his offshore campaigns are all talked through in this revealing chat...:"Hugo Boss had done a trick shot video with Martin Kymer, the German golfer, and put it on the internet and they told us they had fifty thousand views....and I went back to the team and said 'we've got to come up with an idea, put it on the internet and get more than fifty thousand views'...so we got a couple of suits...shot it....and we put it on the internet and...a million views in a week!."This is a fascinating insight into the career of a man that has spent over two decades chasing a dream to win one of offshore sailing's biggest accolades, he's gone against convention, pushed boundaries of design, and suffered some well publicised failures, but most interestingly in this chat with Robertson, Alex Thomson also suggests that when it comes to trying to win the Vendee Globe, he's not quite done yet.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Ils ne sont pas nombreux à pouvoir afficher autant de milles au compteur : Marc Guillemot a commencé sa carrière de coureur en 1979, en participant à la Twostar, et se prépare en ce printemps, plus de quatre décennies plus tard, à bientôt 63 ans, à courir... la prochaine Route du Rhum à bord d'un catamaran de course-croisière de 52 pieds ! Une vie entière consacrée à la voile de compétition. Natif de Quimper, élevé près de Sainte-Marine par des parents qui naviguent et marqué par La Longue Route de Moitessier, il découvre la régate avec son cousin Bertrand de Broc, avec qui il court sa première transat en double sur le même parcours que la transat anglaise. Il fait la rencontre de Patrick Morvan, qui l'embarque dans l'épopée des Jet Services : constructions, courses, records à la pelle, mais aussi des drames, notamment un chavirage dans les derniers jours de 1985, qui voit Jean Castenet disparaître et Marc Guillemot  être sérieusement amoché - il lui faudra deux années pour s'en remettre. S'ensuivent des Solitaires du Figaro - avec plusieurs places dans les 10 -, une Mini-Transat, des étapes de la Whitbread, des AG2R... en ces années du début de la professionnalisation, Marco, comme beaucoup l'appellent, navigue en boulimique. Equipier recherché en multicoque, il navigue avec Loïck Peyron et Mike Birch, dont il prend, en 1997, la succession à la barre du trimaran Orma La Trinitaine. Guillemot va connaître la grande époque de l'Orma, en particulier ses grands prix, mais aussi les Transat Jacques Vabre, les Québec Saint-Malo et sa première Route du Rhum, la course qui l'a tant fait rêver 20 ans plus tôt. Il y aura des podiums - beaucoup - des abandons, aussi, et un drame encore : la disparition de Nicolas Florin, équipier sur la Course de l'Europe en 1999. Après un passage chez Gitana en 2004, il est choisi par Safran pour courir le Vendée Globe. A 45 ans, c'est une nouvelle page de sa carrière qui s'ouvre, avec la conception d'un Imoca sur plan VPLP-Verdier qui va révolutionner la catégorie ; une troisième place dans un Vendée Globe de légende - édition 2008-2009 - fini sans quille après avoir escorté Yann Eliès gravement blessé ; une victoire dans la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2009 avec Charles Caudrelier ; un second Vendée Globe terminé quelques heures après le départ quand sa quille disparaît au fond de la mer ; un record de l'Atlantique en solo... Après une dernière Route du Rhum en 2014 - et un nouveau podium - il conçoit Safran 2, premier Imoca à foils, avec son équipe et doit passer la main au nouveau skipper choisi par le sponsor, Morgan Lagravière. Une fin de contrat difficile pour Marc Guillemot, qui doit licencier une bonne partie de son équipe. Il rebondit en organisant le Trophée des Multicoques, en lançant une équipe mixte sur la Solitaire, en naviguant en Class40... et en montant un nouveau projet de Route du Rhum pour 2022. Jamais rassasié.  ---- Diffusé le 3 juin 2022 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Julien Badoil/Studio Juno

This week on The Ocean Cruisers podcast we are speaking with Matt Steverson from the YouTube Boat Building Channel, The Duracell ProjectMatt with his partner Janneke have been sailing for years and after cruising on their previous 40ft cruiser decided to take on a mega project on their forest property in Washington State.They were given a 60ft Open Ocean Racing Sailboat named Duracell, once owned by the legendary sailor Mike Plant, who sailed the boat in the first Vendee Globe.Matt with his shipwright skills and Janneke are now completely refitting this boats interior and exterior to turn it into a fast comfortable cruiser to sail the high seas.If you want to follow Matt's build, check out his YouTube channel, The Duracell Project.https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDuracellProjectFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, watch the interviews on Youtube and download the audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.If you would like to become a supporter of the podcast, consider becoming a Patreon at patreon.com/oceancruisersYou can follow our social media pages and interact with us by checking out the link below:https://linktr.ee/OceanCruisersPodcastEnergetic Rock | Hiking Free Music by Efficsounds & Alex-Productions | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx0_...https://www.efficsounds.co.ukMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

This week's guest is Yves Parlier, a legendary sailor and an individual with a passion for innovation. During the Vendee Globe 2000-2001, Parlier, after a devastating dismasting, completed an ingenious repair to his ship's wing mast and still managed to finish the race. This achievement, among others, has placed him in the public eye as an extraordinary sailor. He has since then switched careers and is now the CEO of Beyond the Sea. Beyond the Sea develops kite sails used to tow boats. In 2017, they launched the first towing sail for pleasure boats: the LibertyKite. Soon after, the LibertyKite Second Generation was launched: a kite sail steered by an automatic pilot that will also send and recover the sail. This is an exciting technology and for this episode, Yves joins us with Marine Rialan, project manager at Beyond the Sea, to discuss the potential of kite power.But what makes the LibertyKite so innovative? For starters, using kite sails is one of the easiest ways to retrofit cargo ships to utilize wind power. Kites are adaptable to all ships and can be attached with ease while retrofitting cargo ships to use sails is more complex and costly. In addition, when kites are not in use there is no drag from the wind or adverse affect to ship performance which cannot be said about sails. Beyond the Sea is also working on a new project called “SeaLab, '' where they will rebuild a catamaran to be self-sufficient in energy with zero emissions. Parlier hopes to transform the ship into a “laboratory of the sea,” where it will be used to develop new maritime technologies. Beyond the Sea was also selected to receive 1 million Euros in funding from Time for the Planet, biggest citizen community dedicated to global action against greenhouse gases emissions. Wind has been used for ship propulsion for thousands of years and despite our transition to bunker fuel in the 19th century, Parlier believes the future of maritime shipping lies with wind. Join us in this episode to get a glimpse into Beyond the Seas's role in innovating the green maritime shipping industry. 

Pip Hare is the British solo sailor who set the social media world alight during her single handed circumnavigation of the world in the last Vendee Globe.Hare was sailing on one of the oldest and least technologically advanced boats in the fleet and faced a raft of issues along the way. But she made it around and finished in 19th place – the first British skipper home.As you will hear in the interview – Pip had to overcome plenty of hurdles just to get to the start line. The Covid pandemic didn't help, and financially it was touch and go for a while.But – just as she was beginning to doubt whether she would make it – an email from a prospective sponsor changed everything.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yacht-racing-podcast/message

Justin Chisholm's guest is fellow-Brit Sam Holliday, co-founder of the Race Around – a single and double-handed multi-stage around the world race in Class 40 yachts, scheduled to take place in 2023. Sam is no stranger to the professional yacht racing scene having been involved in Vendee Globe campaigns for British skippers Mike Golding and Mirranda Merron, as well as helping to run successful Class 40 events like The Atlantic Cup and The Pineapple Cup. Although the Race Around start isn't until 2023, interest from potential competitors is strong – and, as Sam explains in the interview, he and his small but growing team are working flat out to get everything in place.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yacht-racing-podcast/message

Justin Chisholm's guest on the latest episode of The Yacht Racing Podcast is the French solo offshore racing skipper Charlie Dalin.Dalin hit the headlines earlier this year after he claimed the line honours victory in the Vendee Globe 2020-21 singlehanded non-stop around-the-world race.Despite being first home Charlie was not the overall winner.The time allowance awarded to fellow Frenchman Yannick Bestaven for his part in the search and rescue operation to save PRB skipper Kevin Escoffier put Dalin down to second place in the overall rankings. Nevertheless, to lead the Vendee Globe fleet home at his first attempt at sailing's toughest around-the-world race is an incredible achievement.During the interview Dalin shares his insight on what it is like to race around the world alone on a state-of-the-art foiling IMOCA 60. He shares the highs and the low points of his race and explains what it is like to race through the Southern Ocean – arguably the world's most inhospitable environment – for the first time.We also find out about the extra pressure Dalin felt being amongst the leaders in the most tightly fought Vendee Globe race ever, and discover just how tough that foil bearing repair was to carry out – all alone at the bottom of the world.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yacht-racing-podcast/message

Justin Chisholm's guest on the latest episode of the Yacht Racing Podcast is fellow British sailing journalist Andy Rice – creator of sailjuice.com and co-founder of the ‘Road to Gold' online course on how to mount a professional racing campaign.Andy and Justin mull over the happenings of the last few weeks on the international sailing scene, including: the unusually close racing in the Vendee Globe; whether a fully crewed IMOCA 60 will be the best solution from a communications point of view for the next edition of The Ocean Race; the quality of the TV coverage emanating from Auckland for the 36th America's Cup; the prospects for the British and Italian teams in the upcoming Prada Cup Final.The pair also get into the detail of the Road to Gold 12 step course on how to put together a world class sailing campaign that Andy recently launched in conjunction with renowned New Zealand sailor Hamish Wilcox – the coach to Olympic stars Peter Burling and Blair Tuke and to Emirates Team New Zealand in the 36th America's Cup.Find out more about Road to Gold here: https://go.roadtogold.net/yachtracinglife--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yacht-racing-podcast/message

Yacht Racing Life website editor Justin Chisholm is joined by Vendee Globe skipper Conrad Colman for the final episode of the Vendee Globe special series.After more than 11 weeks of racing the leading group have finally made it back to Les Sables D'Olonne and Yannick Bestaven has been confirmed as the winner of the ninth edition of the Vendee Globe.But Bestaven's Maitre Coq IV was not the first boat home – in fact he finished after line honours winner Charlie Dalin on Apivia, Louis Burton on Bureau Vallee, and Thomas Ruyant on LinkedOut.So how did he win? Conrad and Justin talk through how the leaders' final week at sea played out as they each closed in on the finish of their epic marathon circumnavigations of the planet. There was plenty of action on the night the leading group finished – not least including some major drama for German skipper Boris Herrmann.All that and lots more besides...--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yacht-racing-podcast/message
