Huge respect and appreciation for the shoreside team, they’re so often the under-appreciated heroes behind a big campaign, it’s so much more a team sport than some supporters and onlookers realise. Pip, it’s been a huge effort to keep the show on the road and at times the worry and stress has been apparent, you’d be less than human if that weren’t the case. Well done! You are setting a fantastic example for future generations, of what is possible if you set your sights high and apply yourself with real determination to achieving your goals. Sail fast, sail smart, stay safe, above all keep your spirits high and take the enjoyment of every minute you can…. You’ve earned it in bucketfuls. Can’t wait to see you cross the start line and fly. Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻
The best IMOCA tour ever! Hugely impressed by the work you and your amazing team have done and the resilient thinking behind it all. No one engages about the Vendee like you do Pip.
Pip. Not gonna lie. This is an epic "tour." You have no idea. Incredible. For me. I know that you are the person to manage this boat. That is what the "epic" and the "incredible" is about.〰.〰You, alone on the Ocean. 〰You can do this.〰 Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. 〰✨🌿💦👍💦🌿✨〰. New Hampshire
Thanks for the update Pip, your channel deserves more subs and views that it’s getting. Best of luck with the final stages of your prep in the lead up to the vende. George (the SBB)
Stunning amount of work in sort amount of time, your team and your good self are beyond super humans! Congratulations on your campaign and the realty, not to forget you and your team have also earned a place in the Vendee Globe as a competitor. This is also a herculean achievement! SV Skoiern IV
Lots of work put in. Well done to you and your team. Those changes look good. Building in redundancy and reducing workload is going to pay dividends. I'm looking forward to the start almost as much as you are.
Great insight into your boat and complete program Pip. Very interesting learning all the many different aspects of a Vendee campaign without the advantages of the big bucks campaigns.
have you changed the trimming system of the foils, in the way, that you can slip the ropes from time to time some meters, to protectthem from being damaged by the system?
If and when you Kan chrome your foil's try it angel. Waiting to Sea if the Vee tail ketch's on. Sea'md like good physic's especially if the rudder's Kan be arched. I'd pack a vaned emergency rudder so you don't lose sleep ❤
Oh! It's impossibly insane too know you angel 😇 Where Even ☮️ we Just make it another Day 🐾 I've improved my soccer Shott's knowing you and your friends. Threading A`A needle With An IMOCA Âside 🐾 blindfolded ♉

thanks for sharing Pip.
Nice so informative x 😊
Good luck Pip..'
have you changed the trimming system of the foils, in the way, that you can slip the ropes from time to time some meters, to protectthem from being damaged by the system?
I would think of small spare tandem rudders that fit against the stern incase of an emergency.
Or have you ?
Best wishes.

The old joke about boats being a hole in the water that you throw money into, would have to apply double to a Vendee boat.
I know it's to save weight, but the black dark areas look miserable. Painting it white would boost morale so much.
If a speed rotor is still being used nowadays, why cant that generate power? Runs all the time!!!
