- 🇫🇷 // Depuis plus de 80 jours, au détour de nombreuses conversations, notre oreille s’est familiarisée au jargon du marin. On y va de bon coeur, en plaçant les deux ou trois termes techniques que nous connaissons tels que : le fait d’empanner, abattre sa voile, appréhender la dépression à venir, passer le front, naviguer à bâbord amure, puis à tribord, une bastaque, un safran, … Oui, vous l’aurez compris, le vocabulaire du nautisme est riche et parfois, une démonstration est (plus que) bienvenue pour devenir un véritable expert ! 🤓
Heureusement pour nous, nous avons Conrad, qui se fait un plaisir de nous expliquer étape par étape ce que signifie « prendre un ris » 🙏🏼
🇳🇿🇺🇸 // Over the past 80 days, in the course of many conversations, our ears have become familiar with the jargon of the sailor. We're happy to go along with it, putting in the two or three technical terms we know such as: gybing, lowering your sail, anticipating the coming low pressure, passing the front, sailing on port tack, then starboard, a backstay, a rudder, ... Yes, you'll have understood, the nautical vocabulary is rich and sometimes a demonstration is (more than) welcome to become a real expert! 😳
Luckily for us, we have Conrad, who is happy to explain step by step what it means to "reef" 🙌🏼

The coolest skipper of the Vendee Globe...I love these reports. Thank you..
indeed, we learn real stuff from him all the time, great man, thank you Conrad !
Absolute
YESSS… Conrad Coolman 🫶🏼
Hear hear. Awesomeness.
Your RUclips content from the boat is truly next level! this is fascinating stuff for a technically interested person like me, that's never been even close to such a boat. Thank you so much fo these super interesting "how to" videos, and all the best for your last day's at sea Caonrad! :)
A wonderfully detailed report which shows just how challenging it must be in the stormier seas…….and that’s for a skipper with two good hands - how do Damien and Jingkun do it - unbelievable.
No one else is showing this stuff. The details are wonderful and the physical exertion evident. Thank god for a smart autopilot that appears to allow you to go on deck without being thrashed by who knows what. Amazing. Thank you.
Conrad deserves a medal. To have the commitment to record this complicated procedure - at night - is way beyond the call of duty. Or maybe it's a recruiting drive for his new IMOCA training school 🤔👌 haha
@@howardcobb4354 want to sign up Howard?!?
@colmanoceanracing Naw, thanks but I'm a wee bit too old @76 to start now 😁
Thanks for sharing Captain 🤙🏼
Conrad,
I have been following you since the race started.
Absolutely amazing videos from you!
Always a good mood on board, enjoying the journey with all the difficulties and even explaining us how to reef an IMOCA60... at night!
You are an outstanding sailor!
Fair winds and stay safe!
You are almost there!😊🍻
Best regards from Germany
Flippin’ heck. No wonder there are no fat sailors. And they’ve all got I Q’s of 140. Unbelievable. Hats off to you!
Good god.....this is not for the fainthearted!! That's one helluva lot of 'knowing your stuff' and having the energy! Thank you for a most informative video. This landlubber in Portugal is appreciative 😊 Safe sailing home.
The best videos of the Vendee!
It should be a special *Comunication Award" for you.
Chapeau, Conrad! Thank you forsharing this, it is incredible! I love to follow your Journey. Good luck!
Conrad, you have mastered the art of sharing to social media. It's amazing, to see all of your posts. Thank you!
I don't want the race to end.- I will miss your awesome daily vlogs. Perhaps you could
do another lap????
@@philgardiner445 I will, but not immediately!
Thanks a lot Conrad for your lesson on how to take a reef ! What amazes me is that you're obliged to go to the mast to secure the reefed mainsail, that is laborious and also dangerous for "ordinary" sailors. On ordinary cruiser boats the whole manouver can be completed from the cockpit and it's safer, becuase we have a large lazybag on the boom. You're the BEST, waiting for your arrival safe and fast to Sable D'Olonne. Cheers !!! ✊✊🤞🤞⛵🌊🌐
@@rperrella you’re right, it can be improved. I would need to go out and tidy the main anyways, but earlier in the race it was easier because I had two Cunningham lines, but now I’m down to one and have to swap each time
"Pretty simple when you do it."😂😂😂
I barely understood what you did and will probably never do something like this - until you will make tourist sails 😂.
You are great Conrad! Keep the spirit high, make Videos like this and go, go, go 19 is in reach!
Deine Berichte sind immer so cool Conrad,mach weiter so. ❤💪🌬💪
That central whinch is sooooo important! The stress level is énormes!
Conrad, Excellent content to engage with and reach a non-sailing audience. Media content like this supports sponsorship opportunities from companies outside the sailing community.
For the 2028 campaign do consider reaching out to companies in the oil and gas sector with large work forces working in hazardous environments that can relate to the conditions you face during a race.
There are many oil and gas companies with a genuine goal of providing clean sustainable energy and by- products.
It’s worth noting that almost all of the raw materials used to manufacture the non-metallic components of a modern imoca are by-products of the petroleum cycle.
The raw material manufacturers of the polymers used represent significant sponsorship opportunities. Theres also a sustainability story to be told if you break down most of the primary, secondary and tertiary raw materials of the components of the vessel.
Anyway, love your “can do spirit” and will be following along through this campaign and the journey to the next one.
Wishing you broad reach winds and following seas.
How many revolutions of the coffee grinder have you made on this Vendée Globe? At this rate, have you ground enough beans to keep an entire fleet awake, or just yourself through the next wind shift? ⛵️☕
Good luck, we will be cheering you on, when you arrive in the Channel in Les Sables d'Olonne. 👏⛵️🌍⛵️👏☺️
Another great update and sailing lesson. Getting into the final push! You've really done this with a great sense of style, Conrad! I will miss seeing your smiling face and watching your strong spirit in the face the daily challenges of this extraordinary adventure. Chapeau!
Conrad, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all these little things that everyone else takes for granted!
Cher Conrad, Il ne faut pas s'approcher de trop près de la zone de confort du Roi Jean ! Soyez respectueux de notre majesté, en restant 30 ou 40 nm derrière le Roi. Votre 21 ème place à l'arrivée sera toute à votre honneur. Encore bravo pour votre magnifique course !
I totally underestimated the physical strength required to "pull a reef" properly. Yet, with excessive winds and seas, the added stress is incredible. Conrad, you are amazing to let us see this effort. And then you provide a summary - a total teaching moment! Cheers, mate.
Wow....both body and brain are equally challenged 😊!
You have the gift of being able to explain things incredibly well......difficult ones become easier, even unexciting ones become interesting 😊 (on top: your sense of humor!!!!).
Thank you for sharing. Us non professional sailors appreciate your candor. Can’t believe you have been doing this for 80 days and still have stamina to produce such in-depth commentary. Most appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are awesome! Great example of precision and safe and fast sailing. Thanks a lot!
Conrad, thank you
Just marvelous, just marvelous!
We wish the best final race Conrad Colman🎉
Thank you, thank you, thank you🎉 for all your Inspiration,, during the race, every video fantatastic. Pura vida🎉
Imagine doing all that with one hand! Heroes!
Vielen lieben Dank für die Erklärungen. Ich habe keine Ahnung vom Segeln, sehe aber dass ja alles nicht so einfach und auch sehr kräftezehrend ist. Dennoch machen sie uns mit in der Nacht und zeigen uns alle Schritte. Einfach großartig, vor allem ihre coole Art ist einfach besonders. Weiterhin viel Glück für die letzten Meilen. 🤗🤗✌️⛵️🍀
Conrad, I so appreciate you sharing your "how to" lessons from these amazing racing machines. I've shared this with the crew of my little boat who think she is "complicated" to sail. We have way less stuff to coordinate in a race - and we're five people.
Good luck with the final days of the race ...go fast ...be safe ...have fun!
Thanks for showing this Conrad! Very cool. Quite simple actually, like on a smaller boat just bigger 😅 Interesting you have a down-line. Was wondering how you would fasten the tack, but I see you are re-attaching the cunningham. I think usually it’s a tack line or a hook at the reefing points.
@@ComplicatedStuff the hook is at the head, so you need to pull down from below
The Avenger of the sea. Mindblowing manoeuver, It's a real delight to always watch your videos... everything done in this race seems like a free 3 month sail tutorial package live in the Everest of the sea with you. There are so many good and very skilled sailors in this crazy race, but making it "almost" accessible for the eathers we are. The Vendee Globinar with Conrad. Hats down.!!
So it's one down line per reefing point on the main?
I like the idea with the reflective stripes on the sail and the mast.
Même si la langue n est pas au rendez-vous pour tout comprendre, les images parlent suffisamment. Merci pour cette prise de ris 🙏
Wow! Very cool explanation. Thank you! 👍
Thank you for your how to videos, they are fascinating as are all your videos showing every day life at sea. It's been a while since I sailed so watching your videos kind of takes me with you! Keep pushing and enjoying, only a few days left!💪
What a brilliant video! Many thanks for taking the time to film and explain the reefing process on your IMOCA. It is no wonder that towards the end of the Vendee Globe wear and tear are beginning to show, and not just on the skipper!! 😵💫
I am tired watching from the couch in NZ. Awesome video that shows the complexity of one small manoeuvre. 😊😊😊
Wonderfully explained Conrad. Phew! Thanks
As a " landlubber" I found this interesting but was I out of my depth! What I do get is the physicality,the mental awareness and the knowledge required. Thanks for your vlogs - good luck on the run to the finish Jan Aust
Absolutely overwhelming content. And I love your humour. Fingers crossed for the last miles. Thanks a lot from Germany
Great Job. Both, taking a reef AND creating a video tutorial!
Conrad, you are great and very special.
Even for me at a 82 years old woman (I never sailed) are your reports sooooo interesting and sometimes you are funny also.
Stay your way. Take care for you and your boat ‼️
I keep my fingers crossed ✊️✊️🤞🤞⛵️🌊🌐
Heartly greetings from Eckernfoerde/North-Germany
💙👍🫶🍀☘️🇩🇪👩🦳
Sleep well your doing ba great job👍❤️🌊
Brilliant Conrad. Thanks.
Your technical stuff is great!
Great video. Thank you Conrad. Good to see how the pro's are doing it. It is very inspiering.
Good to see you clipping on Conrad… it’s a little more complex than reefing the J22!! ;)
Thanks so much for the guided operation -. Wow full on process when your're tired or hungry or down or all of that. You have done us all proud Conrad - May the afterburners stay until the end.
Gr8 video Conrad. Will be flying over you shortly on my way to UK from NZ, epic race and prob some of the best video's from all of the boats. Do a fair bit of offshore racing myself, and some really good tips in here. Keep trucking to the finish!!
fantastic explanation. Your posts are really interesting. Bon chance for the last few days
Agree outstanding videos. SO INTERESTING AND INSPIRING. You are amazing. You deserve an award for your video content -best of the fleet - good luck onwards and thanks!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and with good mood!
Thank you so interesting and bravo Bravo!❤
No wonder you need so many calories!! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge!!! Stay strong, healthy and in good spirits. You are amazing!!
Love it, thanks for sharing ALL aspects of your adventure! :)
Thanks so much for sharing your workload. A great reminder for this ex-sailor of the all the steps we got used to come rain or shine, day or night as the gusts increase. And all on a moving platform! Time for a brew and then go out check and probably do it all again.!
Absolutely first-class YT content! Thanks for sharing Conrad and always fair winds and following seas!
Downhaul on the main! Luxury! Fondly recall being up there trying to drag the thing down to the hook with all the pressure on the sail. But fair dues, you still had to get up there for the Cunningham and to tidy the foot. Glad to see you clip on religiously. Fair winds mate!
thanks for your engagement, it's great for us... cheers.. you are wonderful
You sir, are a madman! loving all of the reports and explainers.
Keep it together!
amazing and in 35Kts and still smiling!!
Thanks for staying aboard my teather friend! ❤
Utterly compelling CC! Does anyone within race coordination check in on things like your regular health ie injuries etc? I would think there's a world of interest in the effects of isolation along with the need for continual focus on conditions, screens, etc. Do you feel the constant checking on screens is impacting your eyesight? Our fam's big respect to you from the Noosa Hinterland Qld Australia ✌️ 🙏 ⛵️
Reef on Conrad, reef on! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent display - Thanx for informative video
nice to see practical sailing content ... save passage and good arrival
What a fight!! 😮,👍
Educational and complex! Merci
Run Conrad! Run!)
No room for mistakes❤
So cool, so cool.... great insights. And always in a good mood.
Great video real insight!
Learnt a lot, thanks! How many times have you done this already, during this Vendee Globe?
Next challenge will be to do it with your eyes closed ; -)
Really very informative stuff Conrad. Thank you. I do hope you will be able to collect decent funding for a next, real competetive, participation in the 28-29 Vendée Globe.
I hope so too!
The down-line is interesting. Where is it attached to? The top of the sail? Or is there a down line at every reef? At 5:45, it showed the luff of the sail pretty tight with the down-line alone.
One line, with soft shackles that connect it to each reef point in sequence
Now, that's an orderly mind.
😯😵💫🤯😀👍
Thank you very much, great as always!
How does the lock in the boom works for the reef line? Is it a constrictor?
Constrictor. They’re amazingly useful
Super video. So, looks like your down line on the main luff works like the forward downhaul on my inboom single line reefing system, eh?
Do you ever have to trim the jib to back wind the main a bit, relieving pressure? Assume the 140-ish true wind angle reduces risk of an accidental jibe. Do you guys ever use a preventer on these IMOCA beasts?
Good luck to you on the remainder of your race.
@@timothylindsay3244 never use a preventer, as we’re sailing higher angle even downwind. Typically 145, 150 if it’s very breezy
Love love love. Technical question: do you edit all these videos yourself, or does someone on land do that?
Wow, I had to have a lie down after watching that, not quite armchair sailing.
Is there only 1 down line or are there 3 (1 per reef)? If there is 1 only, where does it attach, at level of reef 3? THANK YOU.
How many wraps are you putting around that winch?? Seems like an entire 3m of sheet
Do you have Sunday‘S off 😊
Think of the person who has to set this all up on the boat!
Where is this main-down-line attached? I wondering, cause you can tight the luff, but I ould have expected it at the Head or at least the Cunningham position of Reef 3.
@@lasseste2350 exactly. It terminates at the R3 Cunningham, then it’s attached at each lower reef with a soft shackle
My first idea was: how it's able to have moments of sleep with such noises?
It's very creepy.
Conrad is filling a real gap, actually. If you want to reach a wider audience you have to take people along and, ideally, put them in a position where they can grow to be armchair experts, feeling able to make an argument and halfway confident in their judgement. Merely figuring out what types of wardrobes these boats carry, by googling your eyes out on the internet, and what the purpose of each sail is is a major pain in the a already.
Wow , you can have a second career making instructional videos on how to sail!
thanks for your engagement, it's great for us... cheers.. you are wonderful
