The second edition of the Vendée Arctique is shortly to get underway, which will see 25 solo skippers take on a gruelling course in their IMOCA 60s.

When you go to the website it seems to give a simplified version of the tracker but click on "Cartographie Complet" in the upper left corner and that brings up the tools on the right. That's as seen on my PC at any rate.

So all the pre race favourites all following the same route.
Burton on a for him new boat does well.
Let's see how the manage the lighter wind section now.

Szabi has keel problems, returned to the start.

Apivia setting up to gain the lead. He has that all mighty speed advantage at times. Would be nice to see someone else win for a change LOL.

There is a strange bug with the tracker : when you select a date/hour in the future, it goes to the target forecast/wind map for a while, but then goes back to the default/current after a some seconds ...
But maybe considered a feature ?

Usual suspects in the lead bunch already.

Sent a msg to geovoile, and it's corrected now, was due to automatic 30 seconds update for the start still being on.

That is the same rythm as for the VG, somehow it makes sense here with all the tactical choices that will be necessary.
Balance between keeping the ability to have choices made by the skippers not seen by the other vs public info ...
Although the big "night hole" isn't really fair for US/western hemisphere residents, maybe a constant 4hours interval would be better.

Isabelle in the lead.! WOW she is high and fast. Good on her for her strategy so far. To be ahead of so quality boats must be good for her confidence

She's not really in the lead, just furthest North at the moment. The ranking numbers are so much junk at this stage because of how they're calculated.

Is there a windy plugin for this one like there was for the Vendee Globe?

Doesn't look like it from the windy site. You can load wind data on the full page tracker
