Happy New Year from onboard Malizia-Seaexplorer!
Boris sends his New Year wishes from the bouncy seas, where upwind sailing and rough conditions are making for a challenging day onboard. While it’s not ideal for celebrations or decorating, Boris still manages to dig out his 2025 glasses and send love back home.
Meanwhile, with Stu, our boat captain, and some competitors still positioned on the other side of the International Date Line, Boris reflects on the unique timing of their celebrations. Some have already welcomed the New Year, while others, like him, are still racing toward it. Grateful for the unwavering support from friends and followers, Boris looks forward to the adventures and challenges the exciting year ahead will bring.
Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance leads Yoann Richomme on PAPREC ARKÉA into the new year. Will we see the Vendée Globe record fall in 2025?
We start with New Year’s Eve updates from Sam Goodchild and Boris Herrmann, who are enduring uncomfortable conditions in the South Atlantic, with their IMOCA yachts slamming the waves upwind.
We then take a look at the course so far, discuss the latest tracker, leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for both Charlie Dalin in the Atlantic and Clarisse Crémer as she rounds Cape Horn.
We conclude the show with Andi Robertson talking to Conrad Colman.
