    In the latest 10am UTC update which was released just after you posted the video, Dalin is now the leader, and the top 3 is within 0.5 nm after having sailed for more than 14,000 nm, with Dalin and Richomme still side by side! This is a truly incredible race. I'm glad we have all the technology today to follow that and sometimes even see it!

    what a miraculous accomplishment from Pippin, she really is sailing a marvelous race. Love Sam Davies, she'll be back in the hunt after her unfortunate breakage with the weather, travelling at unbelievable speeds, these IMOCA's will be back in France for the New Year. Just remarkable footage!

    The small birds swooping behind Boris look like Storm Petrels to me, but can't be sure

      Thank you, I was very curious about the bird species. Storm petrels are very hardy. I think you are right. Merci bien Etienne

  • @mrrabidstoat9787
    @mrrabidstoat9787 День назад +4

    The birds are probably Antarctic Petrels, Thalassoica antarctica.

      Could be Sooty Shearwaters. They are present in that region and have a large breeding population on Auckland Island that the leaders recently passed.

    Is the weather routing for Seb Simon made with a new polar reflecting the assymmetry of the broken foil? Would be interesting to know how such damage impacts the strategical choices.

    • @Sail-World
      @Sail-World  День назад +1

      Sadly no, just the generic foiler polar and his starting position. He seems to be handling things pretty well and keeping his speeds up, all things considered!
