Exciting times on the Vendee Globe (all along the length of the race) right now, but the next 24 hours will be crucial in deciding the winner. Avantage Le Cleac'h, mais voyons ce qui se passe...

AT on +100 88nm now.  C'mon Alex.  :)  Shame he doesn't have two hydrofoils any longer - I was amazed to hear they weigh ~200kg a piece.

British sailor Alex Thomson today smashed the world record for the greatest distance sailed solo in 24 hours notching up 536.81 miles on Hugo Boss. This new record awaits ratification by the World Sailing Speed Record Council.
