Sea Wolves - Vendee Globe report - The Battle of the MIND - Alex Thomson and Jean le Cam lead!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 ноя 2020
- After some very trying days at the start and battling storm Tetha, Alex Thomson leads the race, with Jean Le Cam hot on his heals. The 61 your old veteran French man has show to be a force to reckon with, while Alex also has proven absolute mastery at the sails, showing restraint and precision while also performing a daring in taking an absolutely raiser close course to the core of storm Tetha in order to keep the shortest route and be in the best position to build up a real lead now.
The conditions in the #VendeeGlobe2020 seem to be certainly in the favor of both of the leaders. With a steady wind prediction for the next 3 days of 15 to 30 knots in wonderfull reaching angles. The race course is opening up before them. But we all know the Vendee may seem to be lifting its skirt, there a most surely surprises waiting for us.
What will happen now? Get your favorite drink ready and join the Sea Wolves for the daily analysis of the race to come!

I’m often a little frustrated about the VG reporting. Just found this channel, kudos! To make it perfect, maybe cut in more of the sailorˋs footage, so we we don’t have to hunt for it 😇
But this is already a great access to one of the coolest sailing races, so thanx for that, big tine! I’m looking forward to the roaring 40s and such, this will definitively make this winter a little easier to bear...
Thank you for great perspective and fantastic commentary. You are providing a much needed service.
Ah the psychological game , Alex is very strong mentally, Le Cam, can only imagine that he is a tough man also. Looking forward to the next 3 days. Florian, Vendee hopefully are watching this and you. You promote this race with your cup of coffee and clever incite way more than the official site.
Great update again, nice job. Let’s talk sails sometime, It’s a sailing race, what sails are the boats carrying, what options do they have, What are the rules, numbers ans types of sails, storm sails etc. It would Be great to add the sail plan comments into the read out on their performance etc. Thanks again for a super commentary
Today 😁
Thank you Seawolf your anaysis is rich and exciting with our morning cup of joe
Another great commentary, just get that autofocus fixed is all.
Hi. Turn off autofocus / into manual mode. Focus hunting is distracting..
Even my my dry land only wife is getting into Vendee with your great presentations.
That is fast sailing weather wow Hugo & yes we Camm just awesome 😁
On the 60's keel canting method: the hydraulic piston canting the keel is one of the four official parts that are identical: mast, booms, fin keel, hydraulic system typically powered by the diesel engine. Only the oldest boats are grandfathered to use their older canting systems like the multiple block purchase and electric winch on Medallia. Canting would be the most power-hungry activity on the boat, and must require a lot of current on the non-motorized boats with eco-power programs. I am certain there is a manual over-ride, because this is used during the stability test to 180 degrees to right the boat from within the cabin. Note that If the power system failed, the skipper would have to lock the keel on the centerline for the rest of the race. (Personally, I consider this powered canting to be a debatable question that is never discussed. But if you can use your engine to cant the keel, then why not to turn the winches also?)
Great content. Thank you!
more of Sam Davies - that woman is a legend
You’re delivering some really great coverage. Thanks!
I am a complete Amateur for sailing, never done it...but I like your channel very much !
Hi Florian. I took your advice to 'find some wind' so I aimed at what is left of Theta. I over took 50,000 people last night and am now 292,061 st place! - Looking forward to your next video Alex vs Le Roi
Wow that is amazing!!! Keep us updated please :)
Play atenttion the autofocus camera!?... luckily it was not serious; great job.Waiting for next video!👍😜💪💪💪
The won't sail upwind (clockwise) around the St Helana high pressure like you showed, but rather below it with the wind (counter clockwise). These boats always choose the long way round with the wind
WHAAAAT !!!!! You taught me sax with your videos from HelloSaxophone !!! Didn't knew you loved sailing !!!!! That is AWSOME !!! I wish you the BEST with your new channel / projects !!!!!! (I don't have any doubt ;) )
heeey thanks man :)
Great comments as always. You should work as "weather man" on TV ! :)
Great overview. Thanks for the info
Love the videos! Use manual focus with a higher fstop so your camera isn't always refocusing. Makes it tough to watch.
Love the show. You're the Boss...
thanks for today
you kindly explained their sourcing of power.......
Could you explain their water provisioning
please ?
What a great channel.thanks!
Thank you for this video!
You are doing a great job..
great reports Many Thanks! but wish you had a better webcam..
soon :)
How did you guys get the stats on Alex sleeping ? Thanks.
It's one of the telemetry sensors shared on the hugo boss 'The Hub' website
It looked like no coffee but things are not always wht they look like. Lol , thank you so much for this education ❤
You mentioned it takes 45mins approx to tack these boats get everything ready etc how can they do that in busy shipping and fishing boat areas like N. Spain ? Thank you keep it coming !
Actually its three hours to move everything across the boat as well
GREETING FROM PATAGONIA......VERY GOOD EXPLANATION..... SUBTITLES PLEEEAAAS.......!!!!!!!!!
Fantastique ,
lovely, cheers!
One nil to le cam makeing Alex take the risk to go in to the really rough stuff , classic case of windward leeward boat vs reaching machine
awesome commentary, please keep doing what your doing. would you explain VMG
Hoi Florian. At some point can you talk through sail plans and strategy. We know they have a limit of 8 sails. Do you know who has chosen what? The selection would be Sp, G, CZ, J1, J2, J3, maybe storm, plus the Main. Not taking a Storm allows one extra. Do they take an extra Main, or maybe a light and a heavy SP. Or a spare J incase of a tear/loss??
Obligated storm jib (14-20 m2), mainsail, j1, j2, j3 (j2 obligated to be permanently fixed to forestay) code 0 and Gennaker. That's 7, one left. Some seem to have opted for a fractional code 0 or J0 plus a mast head code 0. Others seem to prefer both a light and a heavy weather Gennaker
@@vendeeglobe8470 excellent feedback. Thanks . So the downwinders ie the foilers, will go for a second gennaker??
Do the IMOCA 60s sail downwind in heavy weather with a foresail only? This generally prevents broaching in my experience, but on a much slower yacht.
No
A question for your longer shows: Can you give us some of your background and the why/how you decided to cover the race so extensively?
I love this race (the volvo also) and I found the coverage very lacking... So I choose to do something about it. Also I sail a lot myself and really try to promote sailing in Amsterdam. So I hope this will also inspire many people to get interested in the sport.
If I'm looking at things correctly. Won't Cam have the advantage after wednesday / thursday once they start heading upwind?
good job....now for more coffee :)
Cheers 🥃👍
Which weather software do you show? Is It free?
Predict wind (paid) or Windy Free
@@SeawolvesTV thanks! Like your videos on the vg!
I am writing from Astoria, Oregon about an interesting (to me) technical point on the IMOCA 60 rules. When talking about gybing, tacking etc all the commentaries omit any mention of the machinery that actually moves the 2-3 ton keel--except on Medallia, which is ironically the exception to the hydraulic set up! I would call her system the "super Mini 6.5" with a multi-part tackle and an electric winch to do the hard work. I assume that all the other 60's are using battery-powered hydraulic rams--although they are not allowed to use electric sheet and halyard winches, which are banned in the standard racing rules, or raise the boat's handicap. So my question is: what kind of "stored power" is allowed in the VG and other big races, how is it generated, and can it also be used to actually help propel the boat, by tightening the standing rigging etc. Also how does the emergency manual keel cant method work during the capsize test? Peter Marsh
good question, I think by the winches though.
Love the commentary and analysis. However, you didn’t mention Alex’s broach where, in his words he nearly lost his main and the race.
I mentioned that yesterday 👍
when did he say that?
@@sports2hedz542 His team issued an update on their website which mentioned the broach as he was passing close to Theta in 50kn winds. He mentioned it Saturday(?) in a video when he said he lost third reef in the main; that would massively increase sail area and could easily cause a broach
@@denislyons8723 oh thanks so much! was it from this video? ruclips.net/video/M6HeiAwmULA/видео.html ...do you know what he says right after "my 3rd reef slipped"? I can't understand it.
how do you do routing in windy?
What are the actual weather models they all generally use ?
Are you on virtual regatta ? If so what is your name on it ? Thank you.
charlo1
Set your cam to fix focus please, the constant adjustment is really disturbing
yes yes, better cam on the way :)
@@SeawolvesTV you don't need another cam, you just have to switch to manual focus, easy!
Made the ringer -> English "Grabbed (or took) the Holeshot!"
Grabbed the Ring. Holeshot is a new one on me, thanks.
A couple of questions:
1. For your weather routing are you just using the standard Imoca60 polars within PredictWind?
2. For your current weather routing (looking a few days ahead), what do you use as the destination waypoint to calculate the routing?
I pick different point around the race track which I think are most relevant at the time. I use special polars provided to me by PW. Some are accurate for individual boats. :)
@@SeawolvesTV brilliant - thanks! Love the videos. I just joined as a backer 😀.
Is it possible you can share the polars you use? I’m also using PredictWind to try and follow your analysis and predictions
@@jonathansedgwick9719 Thank you very much :). You should be able to load the Imoca60 polar in predictwind. Just to go to preferences.
"through the wringer"....a reference to a wringer-washing machine from years past.......
Ah yess hehe, that is the one I was looking for :)
I'm old enough to remember my mother having one of these. The "wringer" sat on top of the machine and comprised 2 rollers. Wet clothes were wrung out by passing them between the rollers which were driven by a winch-type handle on one side. Sometimes they were called a "mangle".
You have a good plug in on windy .com to follow the real race ( in case you dont know ) Regadata ....
I'm making coffee . . .
ive got tea
Does Irish Coffee count?
Its sunday :)
where are you getting those clips of the race from?
they are on youtube
The official VendeeGlobeTV channel posts lots, and the individual teams frequently have sites as well.
everywhere I can :)
Another for your wonderful English vocabulary. Instead of "Don't want to Fcuk this up" you can use the idiom " I don't want to Screw-the-Pooch" ; )
No subtitle? Not good for Deaf people.
