At 0700 UTC - day 3 - Roschier Baltic Sea Race: “Tschüss is in 30-35 knots of wind and it has been a bit bumpy!” commented Campbell Field, Tschüss 2 navigator on Monday morning 29th July. “Our ETA is a bit tricky to predict because our polars say we should be at 20 knots, but that wasn’t possible with this sea state. Right now (0800 UTC), the sea state has eased up a bit, the throttle is wide open, two reefs and the J4 on and hitting 24kt of boat speed at times. 96nm to go!”

The construction of Gitana mono60. The Vendée Globe is a sailing race around the world and nonstop singlehanded. Skipper sails around the world from west to east via the three major capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin and the Horn. There is a long slide down the Atlantic, the perilous voyage across the Southern Ocean with firstly the Indian Ocean and its crossed seas, then the Pacific Ocean, the world’s biggest ocean. Finally, there is the climb back up the Atlantic to head back to Les Sables d’Olonne, which marks the start and finish of the Everest of the seas.
