- 🇫🇷 // Que souhaiter de plus pour Noël qu’un grand ciel bleu et le retour du vent ? Pour Conrad, qui fait à présent cavalier seul entre la Tasmanie et la Nouvelle-Zélande, dans un positionnement un peu plus nord que ses concurrents les plus proches, la situation « est excitante » car pour l’instant il est celui qui touche le plus de vent ! Un pari gagnant ? Affaire à suivre…
🇳🇿🇺🇸 // What could be better for Christmas than big blue sky and the return of the wind? For Conrad, who is now sailing alone between Tasmania and New Zealand, in a slightly more northerly position than his closest rivals, the situation is ‘exciting’ because for the moment he's the one who's getting the most wind! A winning bet? To be continued...

Looking Good Conrad - I love the choices you are making….. 👍
Season's Greetings to you, dear Conrad, and the very best wishes to you. May you and your boat be blessed and be safe in this race.
I hope Tāwhirimātea has a nice Christmas breeze for you Conrad. Merry Christmas.
One reason I like to follow Conrad is that he takes crazy fliers. Every French skipper immediately headed South.
Conran heads North. It probably won't work, but it is fun to watch.
Good on you Conrad for backing yourself. Its a long way north and it still gets wild and woolly where you are so take care and may the fresh winds continue.
North track living it up! Those crazies doing the Sydney Hobart must love beating a tight reach. For you clean running all the way. Merry Christmas from NZ. 830am here and the presents are about to be opened
Enjoy! Sounds amazing
Wow tricky looking routing looking further ahead! Way North or right along the exclusion zone, headwinds and calm patches between... Fingers crossed you find a private elevator through this patch, fly Kiwi, fly!
Merry Christmas Conrad.
Merry Christmas and best wishes from Sweden
Every chicken wants a stay! ;-)
Great daily updates, bro!
All the best, merry x-mas from Vienna! We love your reports here!
Cheers Conrad! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas right back at ya! Have a great day tomorrow. Sail fast, be safe, have fun!!
Thrilling chicken stay lesson .. replayed so many times to see where it's secured .. on deck? Hoisted?
Super happy to learn!!! ❤
It is just a halyard. Clip the halyard to the bow, tighten it up.
Holcim lost their mast in the Ocean Race because their number 2 head stay failed.
@@keithc5729almost. Our halyards are only 6mm dyneema, so can’t take much load. For the chicken stay, it’s actually a fully dimensioned cable that is hoisted, locked, and tensioned on the bowsprit
@@colmanoceanracing Thanks, good to know. Remember when Kevin E. lost his mast in the ocean race. Next time the mast is down it would be great to see how these hooks and locks work. My small catamaran has a hook for the main halyard, it is a bit of a pain.
@@keithc5729 So its clipped/shackeled/pelican hooked to the bow.. the bow like where the anchor would be secured? a deck cleat? under a furler?
Super curious :)
Happy Christmas Conrad, keep living the dream. Best wishes from the UK
You're doing a great job Conrad.
