Vendée Globe Sunday 19th January Update - The Calm Before the Storm, Goodchild Climbs The Mast

Climbing the 29 mast on on an IMOCA yacht is a daunting task, but when repairs need to be made it's an essential job for the skippers in the Vendée Globe. Both Sam Goodchild and Jean Le Cam had to go up the rig on Saturday. The leaders on the water are in the calm ahead of the North Atlantic Storm, and we hear from Nico Lunven, who describes how the swell is already building from the north west ahead of this depression, and Giancarlo Pedote who is in a large group who are also tackling light winds in the South Atlantic. We then look at the Tracker and Leaderboard, concluding with an update from Oliver Heer on Tut Gut who talks through how he sleeps on an IMOCA yacht. #vg2024 #imoca #vendeeglobe #sailing
