I dont know. I think was Bestaven was really unlucky in this Vendée, Boris was too conservative in the race to attract me any favour. You have to win with "panache" or not.

Heard Centrale Nantes with the double degree is not bad as well

Weird, the girl properly vanished 3 days ago....

Mmmm, not really, first i dont think he would have had the level in maths to get Polytechnique, and it doesnt make sens anyway to get Polytechnique to become naval architect.  And he didnt like the maths sup/maths spe neither, so Southampton was more interesting for what he wanted to become...

Thx a lot for the article, reminds a bit this one. https://www.eurosport.fr/voile/vendee-globe/2020-2021/vendee-globe-2020-2021-deux-mois-seul-en-mer-tripon-fait-l-experience-d-une-vie-decroissante_sto8066709/story.shtml

Ok, would keep my football fan reactions for PSG games  :) its a delight to follow this Vendée with you on this thread...

Damned, nobody watching soccer here ? So you can't follow the Vendée being a bit a supporter and having a bias for some skippers ? Like there is no passion and we should act with pure objectivity.  Of course, Boris would be a beautiful winner, for his race, his smart strategy, his experience...

Weather favoured the guys behind, it's as simple as that. Giancarlo Pedote had the same boat as Boris, he would be in the same place as Boris. He has 6 hours free of time bonus, because  of the weather every leaders got stuck at the end. Same for Bestaven who has a good compensation but was...

Boris has the biggest undamaged foils if you consider the boats at the lead. And he has time compensations. Charlie and Thomas sadly can't use their boats at their full potential, 

Honestly, even if i really like Boris, that would be a bit sad if he manages to win the Vendée, he's not of the same bread of Charlie or Yannick, just happened to be luckier than them. Charlie should be flying on top, the meteo disfavoured the leaders in this edition and Charlie had really bad...

I Guess Jérémie and Armel are not in the same mood neither, Jérémie had to overcome his dreams of victory, and he is in delivery mode since his restart

The hobbot of the Vendée Globe :)

Is anybody the figures of the budget for each competitor ?

I misunderstood, i thought 5th was his ranking, i m impressed as well its the 5th Cap Horn at his young age

Well, he is 39, most of the winners of the Vendée Globe were younger than him.

Yep, he's talking about his youth, being 3 friends who met being volunteers at a french sailing school in Paimpol, north britanny, and dreaming about the Cap Horn. And dedicates this to one of thoses two friend "qui est parti dans les étoiles" which is a french expression to say he passed away...
