Today in the Vendee Globe 2020 race, the Sea Wolves soak up the wisdom of a true old salt! The only Dutchman ever to have Finished the Vendee Glove race in his IMOCA "No way Back". Pieter's story is unique because he didn't just finish, he broke just about every convention to get himself into this dream race. A late entry, no significant experience with IMOCA sailing and no Dutch previous finishers to learn from, his story is one of stepping into the dark, and fighting for every single mile. And he made it, but not without his share of battles, both on and off the water. In this very open interview Pieter talks at length about what it takes, and what it means, to take part in this great and dangerous adventure.
Special thanks to all our subscribers and Backers/patrons for your support, with your support, this is the type of content that we can aspire to make. In studio, with real quality on every front. So if you lobe this interview, please consider sharing a couple of bucks with the Sea Wolves so we can keep planning and making this type of fun, insightful inquiry into the world of sailing and sailing technology.
Also in this one. Update on Vendee Globe today and Jules Verne race!

Only the Dutch could pull off a fluent three way discussion in a language that is not theirs. Never fails to amaze me. Well done!
American is the universal language....
As a french Dutch binational, this is One of the reason why the Dutch language will disappear way before the french one.
Learned Dutch from birth even though I was born in Canada. Love the language!
@@freefinancialadvice American is not a language
American ha, can't even spell Aluminium 😎. When man lands on Mars they'll be speaking English .
Great show. Featuring an original, a real and still living sea flying Dutchman. A living legend. Right in the tradition of the Netherlands, the original country of so many legendary sea adventurers over the centuries. - Go on that way, Florian. Keep that fantastic sea spirit alive and kicking.
That was a sensational hour of viewing Florian. I work in the energy business, so am aware of Heerama as a company. But what an interesting fellow, and a quite incredible story really. Great chemistry between the 3 of you, some humour, but lots of detail too. Just a first class job. Bravo.
Thank you!
"Men buy boats & women say when they will be sailed." Pieter is an exception. God Bless his wife!
Liked his comment when you asked him about having any psychological training beforehand, “I dont believe in all that stuff, if you need that you shouldn’t be doing it!”
Piete is an interesting character and appeared to enjoy sharing his experience. I do think Piete could have talked for 2 hours and I would have staid glued to the interview listening.
Thank you very much
Completely concur! I was enthralled.
Dank je voor deze geweldige uitzending. Wat een held is die Pieter.... wow. Wat zou het mooi zijn als meer Nederlanders zich aan de start zouden melden. voor zo'n avontuur. Echt chapeau voor Pieter... geniet van de nuchterheid en onverzettelijkheid.
Outstanding, outstanding interview! And so glad Louis fixed his autopilot and getting back up front!
Bad English is the universal language despite what English speaking say.
Fantastic interview, inspiring story / route to Vendee Globe and fascinating insights! If you want something go for it. Thanks Florian!
That has to be one of the most engaging conversations that I've listened to for a long time. Well done Florian and thank you to Peiter also for his open, honest and convivial discourse.
My sentiments exactly, Thank you Florian
Loved the interview. Great warmth , humour and humanity from you guys. So admire Pieter for his achievement, an absolutely inspirational figure, given his lack of experience, sponsorship etc, he showed what can be done when you are focused and determined. Some great questions from Florian too!
Thanks very much! Great show! Especially enjoyed when the tables were turned and you became the interviewee!
Fantastic episode! Extraordinary interview!
You managed to make your interlocutors and guests feel at ease. You seemed more like you out of the comfort zone than them, but that's exactly how you have to make your guests feel! Fantastic ! They were so comfortable that the interview turned around. I share with you the desire for adventure, true, even hard and made of commitment but I don't know if the extreme ones in the true sense of the word are for me. They are also paths that must be taken in due time. In any case, great episode. One day we could organize participation in a demanding and serious regatta like the Middle Sea Race (Mediterranean, sun, no cold seas and constant breezes not cold and cutting winds ... to start with) or you could support participation with your channel!
Things to come! For now, thank you for entertaining me in this lockdown period and for sharing the Vendée Globe with many Sea Wolves.
I really really enjoyed this one! Great audio quality and the interview dynamics between the three of you worked really well. 5/5.
Do you mean that the other guy was always interrupted and his question canceled or diverted? Haha. I really liked the show, but felt that two of the guys where like a river..
@@MrBlacknass Hah :D I listened the whole thing while running but I didn't experience it that way
Great, insightful and honest interview. Kudos to all involved-especially Pieter for a) completing a Vendee and b) talking so honestly about his experience. And all three of you doing it in your second (or third?) language for us Anglophones.
Another great show Florian. Top guest and co-host. Great to learn a little bit more about you and your sailing exploits and plans.
Thanks Florian for your great show - I watch it every day!
Fantastic interview. Hate to admit but I was unaware of Pieter’s story but it is a compelling one. Nice to see an “outsider” be successful in the Vendée Globe. An inspiration to all, like me, that it is within reach. Well done!
Well done Mr Sea Wolfie, Great adventures happen generally not by chance, but by having the balls to get up and do something on your own
and then being able follow it through !!
The most interesting and honest experience-interview for normal humans, by means that he was not a professional sailor and gave a complete feeling of his experience. A lot of things are de facto for the pros and they don't even mention. Of course being a millionaire exclude him from normal, but still his experience, was closer to everyday sailor's talk. Every second of the video was really interesting. We saw your thirst for info, with really good questions, but was a bit unfair for the journalist. Even when he asked something you took it from him.. That is a point for improvement for the future. Now about his autopilot problem, since I am a pro on that, I can tell you that it was a fault on his behalf, a thing that he admitted himself, and a problem that I face every time I find my self on a new delivered boat on the market. The instruments and the autopilot was never programmed for that boat. And if for a production boat you need 2 hours, for an Imoca you need 2 months. And still you have to be able to fiddle along the trip depending weather etc. It's like trimming tha sails. All VG sailors play with their autopilots very often. Thanks for your efforts. I really enjoy your show. (except for the moment that I listen through that mic you swollow that coffee). It's maybe time to stop that. Sorry if I'm a bit critical, I am skipping that part and watch the rest of the show. Good night
The ceremonial of the café drinking is immuable. It is like stars in the night. It always was, and will stay for ever
I agree in everything you wrote (including the skipping of coffee ceremoy that I also had already learnt to skip a.s.a.p. often at the cost of missing the intro and the following minutes)
Thank you, Hour well spent!!
A 65 year old Dutchman thought me to sail many moons ago, and Pieter reminds me of him so much. Great interview, great show. Keep it up Florian!
Excellent interview, interesting and insightful. Well worth waiting for!
Hi Florian, Great interview. Thank you for your efforts in covering the Vendee, the result rocks!
Baie dankie Florian vir ń interesante onderhoud met albie Pieter en Hiermee. Het dit rerig geniet.
I really enjoyed this interview and thought it appropriate to thank Florian in Afrikaans, a language derived from Dutch and spoken in my home country, South Africa.
What I wrote is, “ Thank you very much Florian for a very interesting interview with both Pieter and Hiermee. Really enjoyed it.”
What a fantastic interview, thank you for all your efforts.👍👍
Thanks Florian - that was so good. I can see you are being called by the adventure!😀
Just brilliant! Brilliant to have a Vendee 17 competitor...brilliant to have such an interesting, maverick sailor...brilliant questions and interviewing.
Sodebo is "ONLY" doing 700miles/24h average, this is why they loose the advance they once had. On the next 10 days (ten days!!) Sodebo should average more than 800 miles/day to keep up with Francis JOYON record. this is how amazing Joyon has done 4 years ago. the boat has the potential to do it, but only with very very lucky weather conditions. Thanks for this great interview with Pieter Heerema
Wow. fantastic Show. Thanks a lot.
So insightful! Was riveted throughout the whole interview! Your hard work, Florian, is greatly appreciated! Can't wait for Sam's interview tomorrow!
Yes Fantastic Flo!
Hi I’m new to this channel, and I really like the technical analysis and the humour. One thing, it would be great if you introduced yourself as I’ve still no idea who you are. Thanks and keep it up. Can’t wait for you coverage of the A/C.

@@SeawolvesTV Hi Florian, thanks, great stuff!
That’s so funny! I’ve watched him 5 or 6 times and also had absolutely no idea who he was.
Good work Florian!
@@108hindu Same here :)
The best interview in decades....
i have been watching since the start of the race. This has been the best show yet. Super interview!! Please keep up the good work and thanks so much for your efforts.
Sea Wolves is amazing! As I battle thru radiation for cancer myself and my 19 year old son awaits finding out if he needs a bone marrow transplant your show every evening has been a high light in our lives. Your perspective of the Vendee Globe has been a language we can understand. My husband was a sailor, but I never have sailed because I have extreme motion sickness. Together every night we can passionately enjoy the Vendee Globe thanks to you! Many thanks! Caitlyn & Neil from Vermont USA
Great interview. Thank you Florian.
Fantastic show. So impressed with Peter. A really great insight into racing in the Vendee Globe
Great interview. What a guy! Thank you for getting him on.
Excellent! Thank you all.
Congretulations ! Very interesting interwiu with Peter and I thank him for the scering his story with us !
This is another new high for Sea Wolves. I'm loving the variety in your reports and interviews. This is fascinating quality journalism. Thank you for this.
:)
Great interview, very interesting. Excellent job!
In the end, you became the interviewee... Great interview and cool to have this insight. Thanks....!
Great interview- Tks v m👍🏽
Well done Florian! Seawolfs for life
Again and again and again Vendee globe official on its knees after this quality interview and previous daily videos !! well done !!! Florian, you should be Pivot on the official Vendee .. (but then the quality will goo to sh#"$) :)))) and no more SeaWolves ... Keep going amazing !!
It’s different. You need to admit the race is sponsored based (if not who will pay) . They need to take care of all participants too. If you understand French , they provide a lot of useful information and sooner than others. It’ like the bbc: necessary but not sufficient
What an interesting interview
Pieter's insights into the boats and the race itself are facinating
Thank you for this
What an interview! Fantastic... and as IT guy, I am taking that non tested autopilot deeply in my mind.
Great interview and professional interviewing skills again. Quote to remember "22 kts, but for how long!"
Very, very interesting interview! Like the show and watched all your Vendée episodes, even though I’m a true non-foiler. Let’s talk sails some other time, sails are interesting too. A foil is just a foil.. but today was a very interesting (guest) interview!
Flat out fantastic interview. Thanks to all.
Many thanks for this interview, I did really appreciate!
The people who do the Vendee Globe are like the great explorers of the past, Frobishers, Franklin, Shackleton, Nansen, Scott, Amundsen, Edmund Hillary ... who led teams into inhospitable situations, and sometimes out of them, too
Nice interview, thank you! It was super interesting.
Pieter was just crazy going into the race like that. Absolutely crazy but I like it! 😄
Like his conservative thoughts regarding boat design, more or less the cruisers mindset which comes through there.
Again thanks for this interesting episode! Keep up the good work 🤙
To date I have enjoyed following the race on Sea Wolves. But this interview has been the best so far. I learned so much! Thank you. Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
Thank you!! That was a fantastic interview, so interesting.
Fantastic interview. Lots of new insights with regards sailing vendee globe. Brilliant!
Really enjoyed this interview from start to finish. Honest, and without the sponsors' filter getting in the way. Thanks again Florian
Fascinating interview. My thanks to all involved
Great interview! The fastest hour of the day. Cheers
Next time, arrange beforehand a question strategy so Heimer can handle a larger % of the questions. This was a great program!
Wohoo - that was an inspiring interview …good questions, brilliant feedback, so much passion of Pieter - sharing 1st hand information and and and! Thanks!
ONgelooflijk intervieuw, dank u allemaal !!! het is zooo fijn tohear truth!!! only the dutch! thank you from the bottom of my hart...!
What's great interview. So enjoyable to listen to. Really engaging
fantastic.... thanks a lot...!
Love this episode. Super interesting, love the levity also. Can't wait to hear from Sam and t-shirts or coffee mugs are always exciting!!!!
Loved this video. Really appreciate all the work you put into it, Florian. Great to hear Mr Heerema talk so honestly about his experiences, hardships and victories on the race. A true Seawolf!
I couldn’t take my eyes and ears off this wonderful interview! I learned so much from the three of you, both technical and personal anecdote along with some good laughs. Bravo, Florian! Superb!
That was seriously one of the most entertaining hours I have spent in long while! Thanks :-)
Thank you :)
This was the best show yet! Really enjoyed the discussion. Keep up the good work!
Buying the only boat available just before the Race, unseen and payed on the Interwebs. Never seen a foiling boat before. Not being afraid.
Never sailed Solo 6 weeks before the start..sailed a Moth foiler with his kids to under stand iton his Family Holiday and already made the decision to do the Vendee . Capsized 22 Times
during the Vendee, fighting his autopilot that totally failed and made the finish.
Brilliant. I have followed the Vendee from the 1st race but your channel is bringing it to life in a way I have not experienced before.
Just a fantastic interview. Love the format.
I loved this interview because we are not used to listen to an experienced sailor, nor any other expert in anything, speaking so straight forward. On the other hand I am sick of listening to people saying lies on the paper, on the radio and on TV. Bullshit fooling us all the time since I was little but VERY specially these days, instead of speaking the truth frankly which is something that should be the norm instead.
Very much appreciated it!
It seems to me that it is just the way Pieter is. I am also this way, and I know well that this type of behaviour showing your cards while playing the game of life is giving too many advantages to the competitors but has some advantages to myself too (and probably many more disadvantages also).
I loved when he explained that making a boat 200Kg heavier costs MUCH less time after two or three months, than having to slow down to fix things that broke for being too light, no telling if they loose the boat instead of simply having to retire from the competition.
I also loved what he said about the autopilot manufacturer (shame on the factory and on the vendors that fool their customers and never get what they deserve).
It was a pleasure and very easy to watch and a big and really nice surprise, as well as a super interesting chat to listen to from the technical points of view. Thank you VERY much to you guys!
By the way... How is that three Dutch gentelmen learnt how to speak such a good English? Is English an easy language for Dutchs?
Have you guys lived for a long time abroad, I mean in an English speaking country, or always in the Nederlands? Is it that being neigbours makes things easy? I am a Spaniard and for us understanding Portuguese or French is not easy at all, but quite dificult (as dificult as learning English or German) but on the other hand people from Portugal understand Spanish very easily (I have seen often that languages inteligebilty is not mutual).
Great Interview, great audio, another masterpiece!
THANK YOU
Excellent interview!
Brilliant video & interview!!!
Lovely camera work & a beautiful set.
Very good intervieuw, lookong forward Sams' tomorrow, cheers!
I didn't know Pieter Heerema before but though he is a very rich guy he seems to be a very humble personality with a great sense of humour...he should have written a book...great interview indeed !
Bravo Florian !
Really loved the interview today, fascinating insight into the Vendee Globe
Very interesting interview, Thanks for that, and I agree buoy chasing races are boring
Really good episode - keep up the good work!
Congratulation on this fascinating insight! Great job Sea Wolf
Just catching up, such an amazing interview. Thanks for presenting this Florian. I used to sail on merchant ships and can relate to the life but what fascinates me is going solo, non stop, unassisted , under wind power only on something that's 1/10th the size of what I was use to and that needs constant attention. And Pieter provided a great glimpse into what mindset drives that..... the urgent need to take that dump :-D
That was so awesome ! Thank you so much !
Incredibly interesting discussion !
This was an excellent interview. Thank you!
Great interview.
great interview ! even though I'm French I have to say Dutch people are awesome, this guy is money . I bet a farmer or a chef would make a good sailor for this race ...
Great interview. Very interesting and honest !
Top and outstanding interview with really useful informations and point of views
I'm french and working for a german company... It is good to hear some positive feedback even if I know how messy we can be sometimes and how we can have cultural differencies at some points ...
"The environment is a tiger", now I understand a little bit more about the Life of Pi. Great interview, free flowing and informative. thank you.
What an amazing story like Apolo13 or Marsian.
Thanks for the great podcast! You were talking about capsizing like it's nothing special... as an outsider who has only capsized with a Laser: how do you get such a big boat upright again?? I absolutely can't imagine this!
wonderful interview, you need to do more like this. well done.
Thank you! and we will :)
Great insight into the mental and physical demands of the Vendee and all described in an understated manner . Excellent and compulsive watching.
Such an inspiring and informative
interview
