GGR News Updates
#GGR2018 Entrant update and Q&A with Don. 15 DEC 18
G’day To All
Thanks again, Don. I love your updates - so real, no grandstanding, and just a wealth of information. A common thread is the genuine humility and concern for everyone involved in the GGR. It's a great ride for those of us just observing!
Hi GGR from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hi Don - at 31:45 you mention changes in future, no access to Windyty, etc., only normal Met Office forecasts. Can you clarify? Participants currently can get weather only via HF, so what’s the planned change?
Hi from a cold Leeds
In 1968 they did not know it could be done!
Hi Don, I hope you see this as positive comment. You are looking for a sponsor for 2022, well I cannot see you getting, you have too many negative connotations. Too many dropouts and too many yachts abandoned. You need to get yourself a PR team otherwise you will be sitting in 2022 as you are now. Cheers.
Hi Don from a very sunny Fuertuenventura soon to be a chilly Falmouth !
You do very well with all your posts. All very interesting. John.
Well done Don, another informative Q&A.
a wealth of knowledge; thanks don
Hi don wet and windy here in Guernsey
Thank you Don, yet another great report... 😊
Hello again from a wet and windy Falmouth. All the best to all. John.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
An other dream session, thank you
Love these chats!
Did Susie have any bottom paint issues?
Thanks for consideration of "Stbd waypoints" rather than "ice-wall". For the penalty part, something around "how many miles did the competitor miss the waypoint by". It will be possible to calculate what the great circle advantage of that would be..multiply by 10 (because it's a penalty) and then divide by a typical average speed (like 5kn) => time in the penalty box. Regarding rigs lost. I can't understand the obsession with rigs lost. As far as I am concerned, only one rig was lost: Loic. The rest were all rolled. No rig survives rollovers, or least only very very rarely. So the focus should be on what can be done to reduce the chances of rollovers, rather than talk about rigs surviving them.
Come on Estavan
Damn shame about Susie! She was my favourite...🇬🇧⛵️🇬🇧
Good Morning ...from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi
Hi Don. One question I forgot to ask is this: Do any entrants have the facilities to wash clothes onboard? Thanks and go well.
👍

Run Forrest, run ...
Morning
hello ! bonne journée à toutes et tous !
👍👍👍👍
With the SAFE ARRIVAL of Susie Goodall Racing it is a good time to Look back over what is now considered the TOUGHEST RACE of them all...the #GGR2018 a 2 minute trip!..If you like it please SHARE :)A little clip shown at the 2018 Paris Boat show showing a bit of onboard action coming from the Hobart Drop Point ! Enjoy !
Love it. Can't wait to see more.
I'm sure there are free of copyright music somewhere that are better than this one... Great clip though, shared ! 😉
These guys and girls are so brave!! Incredible Seamanship.
Susies' statement after arriving...our thoughts are with her right now...#GGR2018..happy and sad.... :)After arriving in Punta Arenas today, I’m still a little wobbly both emotionally and physically as I find my land legs again.
I arrived with a heavy heart, no longer a competitor in the Golden Globe Race – but here is certainly a lot better than the alternative. And I wouldn’t be here today without the incredible support and seamanship shown by so many people over the past 10 days.
I want to start by thanking MRCC Falmouth. After successfully picking up my distress call following the incident on Wednesday 5th December, they worked quickly and efficiently with the Golden Globe Race organisers to pass the information onto MRCC Chile. To the captain, crew and owners of Tian Fu, to whom I owe so much, soon diverted their course having received the request. Thanks to the precision and professionalism of the ship’s captain, I was safely found and lifted aboard, onto a somewhat bigger boat! Sailing away from DHL Starlight was heartbreaking, she stood up valiantly to all that the elements had to throw at her and looked after me until the last. Onboard Tian Fu, although there was an obvious language barrier, I felt very welcome and was made as comfortable as possible for the week-long journey into Punto Arenas.
After 157 days alone at sea and a very emotional week to follow, I was fighting back the tears as I stepped off the ship and saw my mum and oldest brother. My whole family (Tash, that now includes you!) have been my rock from day one of this journey, way back three years ago when I signed up to the Golden Globe Race. I have put them through a lot, and I know I have a lot of making up to do! But I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for believing in and supporting me in the many, many ways they have – thank you.
To my sponsors – what can I say. I had hoped to make it a full circle, but it just wasn’t to be this time. However, I wouldn’t have even made it to the start line without you and I certainly wouldn’t have been so well equipped. Thank you to Zhik, Selden, Marlow Ropes, Weleda, Adesaskews, Sport Kitchen, Invivo Clinical and of course, to my hugely supportive title sponsor, DHL.
It was lovely to have Jaime and Andreas from DHL here to welcome me in today. DHL have supported me throughout this campaign above and beyond what I had expected. They offered help with logistics, communications support so I could pass on messages to family throughout the race and, the biggest thing for me right now, a ticket to get home!
Having only just touched land today, I have not yet looked at my emails, social media or any media for that matter. However, the race organisers and my family have told me that the support from the public, both sailors and non, has been overwhelming. Thank you so much to everyone who has followed the race and sent messages of support.
If you asked me if I would I do this again, now knowing what it’s really like, I would say yes in a heartbeat! But as I said to the Chilean Navy captain who brought me ashore from Tian Fu, “I created so much work for everyone involved in the rescue,” to which he responded “Of course you must do it again!” You may ask why?! Some people just live for adventure – it’s human nature. And for me, the sea is where my adventure lies. Having grown up admiring Tracy Edwards and Ellen MacArthur, I just knew that one day I needed to try to do this too. Every seafarer understands the risks involved but that’s what makes us stronger and able to overcome other challenges in life.
I can’t tell you what is next beyond spending time with family and friends over Christmas and enjoying a glass of glogg, but that fire in my belly is far from out, so watch this space…!
I’d like to say a final good luck and fair winds to the remaining five competitors in the Golden Globe Race. I look forward to seeing you all at the finish line!
Susie, You are a great, great sailor...I am French, you are our new Florence Arthaud...😉
Amazed and Inspired. Well done on everything you achieved
I am glad you are well and admire you to be such a wonderful woman that won't back down to this challenge! I am sure you will complete the next one. Much peace to you and your loved ones
No doubt a very tough and emotional journey for you right now. Huge respect for your achievements!
Well done Susie and all involved in your rescue Have a break, come back stronger and Give ‘Em Hell
You are a great sailor.
Your a rock star!
Chin up Susie, you did well in my eyes.
God bless your safe return.
Sometimes the sea is a hard master. But enjoy Christmas and family and be proud of what you’ve done. It’s a new year in a couple of weeks.
Hey Hey Susie The Sailor ! can't wait for the next one (GGR) to see you make the full circle. 👍 and above all, you're safe & healthy 🥰
Er så glad for du er god behold😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
A great sailor who did everything right. It's time to heal.
Susie you have been a credit & inspiration to so many people all over the world. Your sponsors are lucky to have had you. Best wishes for what ever comes next. On line follower all the way. 😍😇
Your ‘writing ‘ is pretty good too! Brought tears to my eyes. The crew of The Green Dragon. ( not that one, ours!)
Well done Susie and all involved, life is for living and you’re doing a great job 😊👍X
That's a brilliant statement! We all share your loss! I'd say relax and enjoy the holidays for a bit.
Happy Christmas Susie!! You deserve it!! You cannot image how we actually all feel about what you have achieved. Your strength of character and seamanship is extraordinary. We were just waiting to welcome you back to Les Sables on your boat. But you can be sure that you have won a place in the hearts of all sailing fans. See you in Les Sables. But in the meantime enjoy your time with the family and rest!!! Bless You!!
Thank you Susie for your inspiration to all ladies out there.
Susie be proud of what you have done! Best of luck for 2020!
She'll be back!
Love her to bits and bits. Super smart. She will be back and astounding us all.
Amazing sailor and inspiration...
From family Kime, friends and supporters, well done, we have been with you all the way, Best wishes and have a good Christmas with your family and friends. JK

María Pastora Sandoval - "Titi"
Declaración pública de Susie Goodall Racing
Très émouvant message de Susie Goodall à l'instant, à son arrivée à terre et parmi les siens. " Ayant grandi en admirant Tracy Edwards et Ellen MacArthur, je savais qu'un jour je devais essayer de le faire aussi. Chaque marin comprend les risques encourus, mais c’est ce qui nous rend plus forts et capables de surmonter d’autres défis de la vie." Je vous mets ci-dessous une traduction très rapide de son texte et je ne serais pas surprise de la revoir aux Sables d'Olonne au printemps. Merci pour ce que tu es, Susie, et pour l'inspiration que tu es pour toute une jeune génération de marins et de filles ! <3 <3 : "Après être arrivé à Punta Arenas aujourd’hui, je suis encore un peu bancal sur le plan émotionnel et physique alors que je retrouve mes jambes "de terre". Je suis arrivée le cœur lourd, je ne suis plus un concurrent de la Golden Globe Race - mais ici, c'est certainement bien meilleur que l'alternative. Et je ne serais pas ici aujourd’hui sans l’incroyable soutien et les qualités de marin dont ont fait preuve tant de gens au cours des 10 derniers jours. Je veux commencer par remercier le MRCC Falmouth. Après avoir répondu à mon appel de détresse après l’incident du mercredi 5 décembre, ils ont travaillé rapidement et efficacement avec les organisateurs de la Golden Globe Race pour transmettre l’information au MRCC Chili. Le capitaine, l’équipage et les propriétaires de Tian Fu, à qui je dois tant, ont rapidement changé de cap après avoir reçu la demande. Grâce à la précision et au professionnalisme du capitaine du navire, j’ai été retrouvée et transportée à bord en toute sécurité sur un bateau un peu plus grand! S'éloigner de DHL Starlight était déchirant, mon bateau s'est dressé vaillamment face à tout ce que les éléments devaient lui lancer et a pris soin de moi jusqu'au bout. À bord du Tian Fu, bien qu’il y ait une barrière linguistique évidente, je me suis sentie très bien accueillie et le plus confortable possible pour le voyage d’une semaine vers les arènes de Punto. Après 157 jours passées seule en mer et une semaine très émouvante à suivre, je retenais mes larmes lorsque je suis descendue du navire et que j'ai vu ma mère et mon frère aîné. Toute ma famille (Tash, qui vous comprend maintenant!) est mon roc depuis le premier jour de ce voyage, il y a trois ans à peine, lorsque je me suis inscrite à la Golden Globe Race. Je leur ai fait subir beaucoup de choses et je sais que j'ai beaucoup de choses à faire! Mais je tiens à les remercier du fond du cœur de m'avoir fait confiance et m'avoir soutenu de multiples façons - merci. À mes sponsors - que puis-je dire. J'avais espéré faire le tour complet, mais ce n'était tout simplement pas le cas cette fois-ci. Cependant, je n’aurais même pas pu me rendre à la ligne de départ sans vous et je n’aurais certainement pas été aussi bien équipée. Merci à Zhik, à Selden, aux cordes Marlow, à Weleda, à Adesaskews, à Sport Kitchen, à Invivo Clinical et, bien sûr, à mon sponsor principal, DHL. C'était un plaisir d'avoir Jaime et Andreas de DHL parmi nous pour m'accueillir aujourd'hui. DHL m’a soutenu tout au long de cette course au-delà de mes attentes. Ils ont offert de l'aide pour la logistique, le support de communication afin que je puisse transmettre des messages à la famille tout au long de la course et, ce qui est le plus important pour moi actuellement, un billet d'avion pour rentrer chez moi! Comme je viens juste de toucher terre aujourd'hui, je n'ai pas encore consulté mes courriels, mes médias sociaux ou aucun autre média. Cependant, les organisateurs de la course et ma famille m'ont dit que le soutien du public, qu'il soit marin ou non, a été extraordinaire. Merci beaucoup à tous ceux qui ont suivi la course et envoyé des messages de soutien. Si vous me demandiez si je le referais, sachant maintenant à quoi ça ressemble, je dirais oui sans hésiter! Mais comme je l'ai dit au capitaine de la marine chilienne qui m'a emmenée de Tian Fu à terre, «j'ai été source de tellement de travail pour toutes les personnes impliquées dans le sauvetage..." :( , à quoi il a répondu:« Bien sûr, vous devez le refaire! » Vous vous demandez pourquoi?! Certaines personnes ne vivent que pour l'aventure - c'est la nature humaine. Et pour moi, c'est dans la mer que réside mon aventure. Ayant grandi en admirant Tracy Edwards et Ellen MacArthur, je savais qu'un jour je devais essayer de le faire aussi. Chaque marin comprend les risques encourus, mais c’est ce qui nous rend plus forts et capables de surmonter d’autres défis de la vie. Je ne peux pas vous dire quelle sera la prochaine chose à part passer du temps avec ma famille et mes amis à Noël et déguster un verre de grogg, mais ce feu dans mon ventre est loin d’être éteint. Je souhaite une bonne chance et un vent favorable aux cinq concurrents restants de la Golden Globe Race. J'ai hâte de tous vous voir à la ligne d'arrivée!"
Well done with the press call Susie, that was a tough one so soon after coming ashore. You are a tough cookie and we all admire and respect you for it. Take it easy and see you back in Falmouth . They will probably want you to be the next Town Mayor/ess ! #lovefalmouth #lovecornwall ☘️⚓️☘️
One word “Inspirational” 😎😎😎⛵️⛵️⛵️
Susie looks and sounds disappointed and sad,but with all this experience she has gained,I expect Susie to come back even stronger when she takes on her next challenge .

British round-the-world sailor Susie Goodall reunited with family
itv.com
British round-the-world sailor Susie Goodall has been reunited with her family after spending more than five months at sea. The solo yachtswoman was seen embracing her mother in Chile where authorities had directed a merchant vessel from Hong Kong to her stranded yacht. She was rescued while competi...
Our hero❤️❤️
The age of omnipresent media... All the support to Susie. This is a difficult moment. I can't imagine she's enjoying that. I do not mean losing her boat, nor having to come to terms with not finishing. Nor seeing crowds again after 6 months of isolation. Nor seeing her family for the first time. But in addition to coping with all that, she is under the full glare of media cameras. That seems cruel. It felt voyeuristic even watching those 40seconds of video. Take some time Susie.
Maximum respect!
This year’s hero. Well done Susie, you kept on inspiring us all.
She is a strong candidate for nxt GGR.
Good on you Susie
Well done Susie! Mom raised a winnder. :-)
Great to see you reunited with family. What an achievement. Happy Christmas to you all from Ireland!
Brave girl!
So pleased to see her reunited with her family! What she has achieved is amazing and I’m totally in awe. Well done Susie, I’m sure it won’t be too long before you’re up and out there again!
Great!!
Respect
Fantastic news . An amazing lady
Excellent!
Super to see you safe!
Fantastic!!
Aww bless....that's so lovely.
Big Names: Mark. Jean. Susie. All of them. What else?!
Have a great Christmas & worry about the next GGR in the new year, well done Susie
Thank to the SARSAT Beacon safety means a lot 👏👏👏glad for Susie and her relatives
You are still awesome and a true adventurer. Never give up on your goals and dreams. Amazing.
How lovely Mum and Brother was there to greet her. 🙂
Heads Up - Susie's landing has just been featured on Sky World News!!
wonderful achievement...she may have sailed alone very bravely but the teamwork to enable her safe return was fantastic and All involved deserve a massive thanks...hope you sail off into sunrises again soon....The safety system aboard vessels now are LIFESAVING enablers Congratulations
Yay that's fab news.😊
VIDEO!!!....SUSIE is OFF the SHIP!!! :) Susie Goodall Racing #GGR2018
Rescued yachtswoman Susie Goodall back on land after ocean ordeal
news.sky.com
The 29-year-old was competing in a 30,000-mile round-the-world race when she lost her mast during a "ferocious" storm.
Mixed feelings seeing this. I’m relieved she is safe but I loved following her in the GGR race.
Wonderful seamanship by the rescuing ship ...
I hope Susie will come back in 2022 ( If mum will let her)very best wishes for the future.
That stuff that's wallowing about under your feet, Susie, is called the ground.. I'm sure it's a bit unfamiliar to you.. Good to see you're safe and well done for the enormous distance you sailed and your bravery in facing, and surviving, the elements.
Well done, Susie! It must be really hard for you, but you should be so proud. We are.
Christ, chilean merchant marine officers scrub up nearly as good as royal navy officers 😂
She looks really healthy...will be good to hear about what she has to say. Hopefully she will race in 2022 as I've really enjoyed following her this race.
Thank you for your courage, bravery and showing the world that women can achieve their dreams. Bummer about the storm😢
Must be gutted having sailed so far but what an achievement. Home safe and wishing her a lovely festive season. ⛵️
Bitter-sweet moment.
Very proud well done.
Heartbroken for you Susie but you are still my hero!
Well done Susie! So pleased you are safe and sound 🍾
Susie you seem to be sad, which is ok. BUt we are all very proud of you! I hope you will find that within you too soon!
Lovely - happy and sad too. But way more HAPPY. 🤩
Well done on getting as far as you did - you were fantastic and such an inspiration ❤️
Like all Relief to see you safe. You gave it you all, Mother Ocean had other plans. Thanks for all you did for us armchair Sailors
Proud of you, Susie. You are an inspiration to me. There are so many adventures that await!
Hope you don't have too much media intrusion
This amazing woman is an inspiration to sailors young and old!
She’s a Rock Star!
Welcome home Susie! Hope you quickly gain your land-legs back.
We were so relieved to see her being winched to safety, and to see her back on land. What an awful pity her boat was broken.
That sucks. I was rooting for this one.
She should have lunch with Lyn Pardey before her next attempt.
Istvan Kopar Solo Circumnavigator is in the small part of the storm now hoping for rain...this was recorded as it was about to arrive and he sounds ready with a repaired steering system. #GGR2018

If anyone can nurse a boat across the finish line it’s JLVDH. Good luck and fingers crossed for kind winds.
Erwann
crack getting bigger yet he is still doing 5.4 knots in light air!
Some race.I could never get into sport as a spectator until this race.
Oh no!
un grand, un très grand Mr !
Stop drill the crack.... if he hasn't already. www.scientific.net/KEM.452-453.705
Wow about J-L! When does the Susie media scrum begin?
True Legend..All the very best Luc👍👍
So sad VDH has to slow down even more. Bring your boat home safely, JL.
Jean Luc, you really are a star!
Woo woooo, it is even more interesting now!!!
Good luck
And all this, with a big...smile. Respect!
Classic fatigue cracking of aluminium. It may be possible to blunt the crack tip and extend its life by drilling a hole into the crack tip and increase the crack diameter and thus minimise stress. This will provide a longer fatigue life. It’s done on aircraft too
Fab photo hope he gets fair winds
Jean-Luc uses the ATN mast climber (at sea a lot).
Number one
WHO could have imagined!! 12 down in this order and now just 6 still sailing!.
With Susie Goodall Racing making landfall today and Mark Sinclair retiring the #GGR2018 has just SIX entrant's sailing in what many are now saying is the TOUGHEST Race in the world. Only one entrant finished the first edition in 1968 and there is still a long way to the finish line in Les Sables d'Olonne Agglomération.
Jean Luc Van Den Heede pounding to windward has widened his crack in the mast!!! and latest message this morning...QUAND MATMUT TAPE AU PRES LE MAT SOUFFRE ET MOI AUSSI!G REDUI+ /
"When Matmut is slamming closehauled the mast is suffering and me too! I reduced +"
Photo numbers show order of retirement from the GGR
Tian Fu is 2 miles away from Punta Arenas !
I have to say as it stands I am thinking Mark Slats May be first across the line. But who can tell!!
Hold it together Jean Luc...
For ever in our heart Susie,your team in Spain is proud of you.
LOL Captain OK! Cute detail. xD Marco
With its current configuration it is the toughest no doubt.
Still a long way with a damaged mast, need to watch it very closely and consider additional repair possibilities.
Tapio (number 6) is not the one in the front row but the person between Mark (12) and Ertan (2)
IT IS THE TOUGHEST RACE IN THE WORLD NO DOUBT.
Ok! Lol
This is an interesting translation of IGORS's LIVE session on Facebook explaining his challenges over the past months...No photo but worth a read for sure....he is a GREAT CHaracture and sailor and I cannot imagine how he will feel sailing free again when he sets sail on Monday!!.. :) #GGR2018
300 дней вокруг света с Игорем Зарецким
The recoup of the today’s live from Albany with Игорь Зарецкий (Igor Zaretskiy) for English speaking #GGR2018 and #EsmeraldaOK followers:The decision to make this stop was a tough moment. And it took quite a while to make this decision. Starting from the middle of the Indian Ocean I was constantly weighing my chances, and the chances were to get to the Cape Horn not earlier than the late autumn, which is not wise. Of course getting down to the Chichester class is a tough thing to accept, but there are things more important to consider. In this race, a mistake can bring you a penalty much more serious than two minutes’ penalty in round the cans race. Will I continue the race? There is no point to ask, guys. Of course, I will.
What happened to the forestay? It was up to about 30 knots, the twin staysail was furled with just a bit of the clew out, and I had a small jib on the baby-stay. Then the furling line snapped and all those 66 sq.m. of the twin staysail were into the wind. I took about two or three hours to catch it and bring the clew back to the foredeck and to put the sail down. When doing this I noticed a very violent vibration of the forestay. I then got rid of the furling system completely, but the forestay didn’t last long. Later there were also quite a few issues with the sails were not made enough for the hank-on system. Anyway, all the pre-race preparations allowed me to get to Australia.
Plans for the second part of the race? Any goals, time to beat, or competitors to catch up? The rule is to fight to the end. Everything can happen to anyone here. You are in the race till you pass the buoy in Les Sables d’Olonnes.
It’s not that I am looking forward to other retirements or that something will happen to other entrants. I was really sad to receive all that news about roll-overs, dismasting and other problems. No, I am talking about the excitement of the race, the passion.
This is almost the year-long race, it’s not a cruise around the world. The Ocean can reshuffle it all at any moment.
What are the feelings when you losing the speed? I’m not sure I will find words for it even after the race is over. It was very hard.
I was thinking about cleaning the boat myself out there probably on the anchor, but it was an impossible job. Yesterday it took a few hands and half a day with a special tool to hack away all those stowaways.
The plans now are: the bottom is clean, it will take two-three days to repaint it. There also a lot of things to do. Albany is a very nice little town, I was very pleased to see local peoples who came to help me. But I need to get back to the ocean. As soon as possible.
Great attitude,
What a great sailor. Looking forward to him being back out there doing it tough til the end.
FRENCH LANGUAGE Skippers update 14/12/2018 #GGR2018
SUSIE GOODALL arrive à PUNTA AREANAS aujourd'hui et sera surement envahie par une montagne russe d’émotion en mettant le pied à terre pour la première fois depuis 166 jours, de retour à la civilisation, retrouvant sa famille et probablement les médias en même temps. Ses nombreux fans seront impatients de l'entendre, et nous lui souhaitons le meilleur à venir. Encore une fois MERCI à toutes les personnes impliquées dans son sauvetage.
ISTVAN KOPAR a réussi à dépasser le pire de la tempête qui s'abat actuellement au dessus de sa position et les vents devraient souffler à environ 45/55 nœuds avec une mer de 6 m. Les vents les plus violents ne devraient durer que trois à six heures. Heureusement, la trajectoire de la tempête est restée telle qu'annoncée et perd de son intensité. Au cours des prochaines 24 heures, elle se transformera tout simplement en flux d'air turbulents typiques de l'océan Austral et se dirigera directement vers UKU RANDMA, qui subira son influence vers 2h UTC le 15. Il peut s’attendre à ces mêmes vents du nord-est soufflant de 40 à 50 nds pendant environ 36 heures avant qu’ils passent sud-ouest, avec une mer de 6 m. Cela le poussera rapidement vers CAP HORN. Une fois que ce système se sera dissipé, UKU aura la route dégagée avec ce qui semble être prévu comme du beau temps pour l’instant, pour son passage.
TAPIO LEHTINEN progresse pour le moment très lentement dans des vents légers, alors que le planning de travail d'IGOR ZARETSKY se déroule comme prévu!
MARK SLATS pousse son bateau vers le nord à 5,6 nds malgré des vents relativement légers venant du sud alors que le centre d’une large dépression se déplace sur lui, mais sa chance est sur le point de tourner un peu. Dans les prochaines 6 à 9 heures, les vents tourneront au nord et il pourra se battre pour maintenir sa position. Comme c’était prévisible, il se trouve maintenant à moins de 700 miles au sud de JEAN LUC VDH, qui lutte pour se diriger vers le Nord avec des vents légers à modérés le poussant vers l'Est pour l'instant. La mauvaise nouvelle est que ces conditions vont perdurer au moins pendant les quatre prochains jours, de sorte que la pression va commencer à monter. Alors que MARK SLATS aussi progressera lentement au cours des deux prochains jours, les prévisions météorologiques laissent penser qu’il pourrait ensuite commencer à faire route vers le nord pour continuer à réduire l’écart !!!
My thoughts are with Susie on this very emotional day ahead. Wishing you all the best! You are a hero Susie! A fantastic sailor, an inspiration! With love 😘
Cheers to the amazing Susie - always a GGR hero. Wishing you well with an emotional day ahead ☘️🥟☘️

From latest text message, it seems that Jean Luc's mast damage is increasing... Can you explain what he recently did to reinforced it ?
#GGR2018 LIVE Questions and Answers Saturday around 1300UTC and a LIVE Tracker UPDATE around 0900UTC .. PLEASE place questions in the Comments below EVEN if you have previously sent questions vie email or other GGR FB posts or messages...these are the ones we answer.. :) THANKS
We knew Susie lost a spinnaker pole at the begining of the race, and, when she dismasted, the second pole was probably stored along the mast compromising any chance to have a jury rig... So, what do you thing about kites (the kind of what is used for kite surfing) could they be interesting for a jury rig ?
Hi Don, out of interest what happens if a yactsman has to take refuge in a country where he or she requires a visa? Take that one step further, what if that person has lost everything and has no passport or money etc? Thanks!
Hi Don, we see text messages from the contestants thanking radio operators for weather information. How personalised is this, how far ahead can the forecast project and do you think it gets close to weather routing. Or, is the reality that for an experienced skipper like Jean-Luc all he needs is an accurate forecast for his area and he can do his own routing? Thanks for continued great coverage and to the skippers for sharing their experience and adventure.
What Happened of Susie? Do you have fresh news about her? Is she back in the UK?
Do we know if Tapio has managed to clean his hull?
What is the average water consumption per day for these competitors?
Hello team GGR. WOOP WOOP. would you please describe the penalty box procedure again. Where is the imaginary box?
Hi Don and the team. I may have missed this explanation already so apologies if so. This race really is a genuine inspiration for folk who dream of racing the globe on yachts but who's likely sponsor is 'Bank of Under the Matress' as opposed to BOSS. What was your criteria for selecting the boat type other than being of equivalent size to the original race?
Good afternoon Don, Istvan has sent SMS that he has made and fitted new bearing in his steering and the last info was that he was testing it. Do you have any details of how he made the new bearing? Do we assume it is working OK as I have not seen any SMS to the contrary? And of course the burning question - will JL mast stay up... your opinion? Thanks.
From CANADA 🇨🇦....Hi Don , Since the beginning of the GGR ....What is the shortest and longest times that have been recorded ? ? Thanks !
Continuing on the mast theme, Identical boats,with Susie pitch polling and loosing her rig and Jean-Luc saving his rig ,how much difference do you think it made with Jean Luc mast being a metre shorter
Do you have any idea why Tapio Lehtinen Sailing's boat is taking in water in the bow compartment? I guess it would be the pull-pit or some other deck fittings leaking, but seems to go in quite fast..
Don, so now with Captain Coconut retiring and it seems that Uku, Istvan and Tapio are playing frogger with the storms towards Cape Horn. What realistic time window do they still have to complete this leg? 🤔
Hi Dom. As a high percentage of the fleet have had rig issues or failures, and taking on board your previous live explanation about deck or keel stepped rigs would you concider making minimum mast section/strength requirements for the next GGR? As in keel stepped rigs with a larger section. I appreciate it wouldn't save all rigs due to rolls or pitch poles but could save some not only as a safety point but also possibly having more of the fleet reach the finish.

#GGR2018..another update from Mark Slats about life onboard.
Mark Slats
VOICE UPDATE MARK #12
🇬🇧 Here’s an update from me on board since Cape Horn. The first days were actually different every day. There was a lot of wind, there was no wind and I had headwinds. Every day something happened, almost everything happened, so I was pretty busy. Actually the last few weeks before Cape Horn I was scanning weather reports on the SSB radio almost every night because at night the range was better. Every two hours actually a did something. So I did not have much sleep at night and I had a bit rest during the day. I'm still not over it now. I still don’t sleep that much at night and I do sleep more during the day. But that will be fine again.
On board everything is well and it gets warmer again at night. Actually, I had no cold feet for the last two days and I wearing a T-shirt. It’s very strange to expose my arms again. I have not seen them in the last months because I was always wearing a sweater. So that’s very special. I’m really looking forward to … in another 4-5 days I can start fishing. I already did some fishing but I didn’t catch a fish at all. There are still a lot of birds over here so I'm afraid I will catch a bird instead, I cannot wait too long because they are very interested in it. I hope in a few more days the weather will be more tropical.
It is just like the last time I was over here it’s hard. Because you want ... in your mind, you round Cape Horn, then you turn left and then you’re on your way home. But once you rounded Cape Horn you realize that you still have a lot of miles to go. And then you notice that your emotions go up and down a lot. If the winds is hard, I can sail hard and everything goes very well, everything is perfect. But if there is no wind, it’s pretty annoying. But that is part of it. Part of the race.
It is the last part pf the race. I do everything to sail as hard as I can, as you might have seen lately. If there is a lot of wind, I am hand steering a lot. It is just a bit more secure and then I can sail a bit faster. I still try to be quite reticent and sometimes I sail with less sail so the boat and sails stays intact.
Nevertheless, I notice that things are broken. Last week one of the winches on the mast was broken and the mainsail was torn, my jib was torn. Everything starts to get a bit up anyway. But everything is well repaired now, only the winch is not. But I still had a new winch ... So … I hope to be in the trade wind soon. There are variable winds over here, I really hope that I will keep the wind that I have. I want wind or half wind, but I have to go through the high pressure system and then I have to find the trade winds quickly. The moment I find them, I’ll have a fairly steady crossing of the equator. The trade winds are now still 1000-1200 miles away, maybe even more. That still will be a big thing. I hope this update is clear. I'll speak to you later, hi, hi!
🇾🇪 Hier een update van mij aan boord vanaf Kaap Hoorn. De eerste dagen was eigenlijk elke dag wel wat anders. Het was veel wind, het was weinig wind, het was tegen wind en het was ruime wind. Elke dag gebeurde er wel iets, er gebeurde van alles, dus ik was veel bezig. Eigenlijk de laatste weken voor Kaap Hoorn had ik heel veel weerberichten gescand op de SSB-radio ’s nachts omdat het bereik ’s nachts beter is. Elke twee uur wel eigenlijk een ding. Dus het was eigenlijk veel ’s nachts wakker en overdag wat meer uitrusten. Daar ben ik nog steeds overheen nu. Ik slaap nog steeds slechts ’s nachts en veel meer overdag. Maar dat gaat wel weer goedkomen.
Verder aan boord alles goed en het wordt weer ’s nachts warmer. Eigenlijk sinds twee dagen heb ik geen koude voeten meer nu en leef ik in een T-shirt. Dat is heel raar om mijn armen weer bloot te zien. Die heb ik maanden niet gezien omdat ik altijd een trui aan had. Dus dat is heel apart. Ik kijk er heel erg naar uit. Als het goed is nog een dag of 4-5 dan kan ik gaan beginnen met vissen. Ik heb het al een paar gevist maar niets gevangen. Er zitten nog steeds veel vogels in de lucht hier dus ik ben bang dat ik een vogel aan de haak heb, ik kan niet te lang mijn loer uithangen want ze zijn er heel erg in geïnteresseerd. Ik hoop nog een paar dagen en dan wordt het wat tropischer.
Het is net als de vorige keer dat ik hier was eigenlijk een zwaar stuk. Want je wil eigenlijk … voor je gevoel ga je Kaap Hoorn rond, linksaf en dan naar huis. Maar als je eenmaal onderweg bent realiseer je dat je dan nog echt wel een heel stuk te gaan hebt. En dan merk je dat je emoties toch wel heel erg op en neer gaan. Als het hard waait en het gaat hard allemaal dan gaat alles perfect. Maar als de wind wegvalt dan wordt het toch behoorlijk vervelend allemaal. Maar dat hoort erbij.
Het is het laatste stukje. Ik doe alles om zo hard mogelijk te zeilen zoals jullie wel gezien hebben de laatste tijd. Ja als er harde wind is sta ik heel veel met de hand te sturen. Het is toch net even meer gevoel en dan kan ik wat harder gaan. Ik probeer nog wel vrij terughoudend te zijn en ik zeil toch soms even met te weinig zeil zodat de boel heel blijft.
Toch merk ik wel dat er dingen stuk gaan. Van de week is een van de lieren op de mast gebroken en het grootzeil is gescheurd, mijn stagfok was gescheurd. Alles begint nu toch wel een beetje op te raken. Maar alles is weer goed gerepareerd, alleen de lier niet. Maar ik had nog een lier over dus… Verder hoop ik snel in de passaatwind te zijn. Er zijn hier variabele winden, ik hoop eigenlijk dat ik de wind blijf houden die ik heb. Ik wil aan de wind of halve wind, maar ik hoop snel ik moet door het hoge druksysteem heen en dan moet ik snel de passaatwinden vinden. Op het moment dat ik die vind dan heb ik een vrij steady oversteek van de evenaar. De passaatwinden zijn nu nog wel 1000-1200 mijl weg, misschien nog wel meer zelfs. Dat wordt nog wel een dingetje. Ik hoop dat deze update goed overkomt. Ik spreek je later, hoi, hoi!
Marky Warren
BUT WHO'S SHOOTING THE VIDEO?!?!
The truly sporting thing would be to sail across the finish together with Jean-luc - make it a dead heat … but his mast is in worse and worse shape now ….
Enjoyed all the details, Mark.
Thanks Mark, great report and video - creaming along! 👍
Wait, how is the camera turning?
Bravo capt Mark , bravo also to take the time to write us ,yes from Cap Horn to latitude Brazil o Fortaleza , it is hard to go up , ,( yes i have to still learn SSB radio for the météo ) but soon it is going to be warmer for you , and take forces to go up to Azores ,allez go and take Jean Luc yes! stay safe ok ⛵️
UPDATE. Just back from Paris Nautic to see that Istvan Kopar Solo Circumnavigator may just beat the worst of the storm. This picture is for wind 0500UTC on the 14th and he will be another 55 miles further South by the time it reaches him around 0800UTC so he may still get 50/55Gusts for about three or so hours but it is fast moving so??? could be OK. and Mark Slats is steadily closing the Gap with JL VDH! #GGR2018
Hope all goes well - fingers crossed!
Oh let’s hope so!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 thinking of you Istvan, wishing you safe passage through this! 🍀🍀🍀
🙏❤️🙏❤️
Very helpful storm advice for Istvan.
Istvan! Praying for you right at this moment! You are going to make it by the grace of God! ❤️
Thanks..... 🤞
Prayers for Istvan.
🤞🤞
it is not funny ,storm alomost same place than Susie ,allez Capt Istvan stay strong and safe , we are all with you .
Chanceux Mark Slats !

The GGR 2018 was organising today a vacation with JEAN-LUC VAN DEN HEEDE :-)
Question on southern no-go-zones. Background: - Given Celestial Nav only is allowed (a good rule in my opinion) - Obtaining GPS positions over SSB/Ham is now officially not allowed (also a good rule, although enforcement could be a bit difficult) - The 4000nm Indian and 2000nm Pacific no-go-zones create an awkward and slightly "unnatural" challenge for competitors who are only obtaining a position every 1-3 days depending on cloud conditions. Following an "invisible shoreline" by sextant is hard and unnecessary. Competitors can also get stuck up against the no-go-zone wall with little wind, which has happened a number of times in the 2018 GGR. - The Vendee globe used to use "ice gates". They were 400-800nm gates which the competitors must pass through. (8 of them in the 2012 version of the VG). You could probably also just use waypoints which the competitors must leave to Stbd. Between the "gates" the competitors were free to sail according to the wind conditions. Great circle geometry would remove any incentive to "dive too deep". The VG 2016 switched to "ice-walls" similar to GGR 2018, but they are obviously using GPS. Question: Would you consider using "ice gates" or "waypoints to Stbd" rather than the current "ice-walls" for GGR 2022? These might be a better match for the navigational tools used in the GGR. It would also be a closer match to "how it used to be" (ie free sail), while still keeping competitors safe from ice and closer to rescue assets. Thanks for your consideration, and look forward to your answer.

Hi 👋
Bonjour!
Hi, from Queensland.
What is this
Bonjour des Sables d’Olonne 🌧⛵️
My Classic Boat watching
UPDATE, #GGR2018 13/12/18
Jean Luc Van Den Heede is still pushing head winds while Mark Slats rockets north with tail winds rapidly closing the gap. In the next 24hrs he should be just 700 miles behind and putting more pressure on before his winds move to the north and slow him down as the high pressure center moves across.
Istvan Kopar Solo Circumnavigator is rushing south as fast as he can to get below the storm forming to his northwest. At this stage the tactic seems to be working as the system moves as predicted so far but this could change. He Gybed across last night and he will run with the strong NW wind until the storm arrives in about 24 hrs. Once through that he will have to keep looking over his shoulder as more Southern Ocean heavy weather will be pushing him toward the Cape Horn.
Tapio Lehtinen is happy in his world with the expectation of a slow trip to the east and Uku Randmaa Golden Globe Race 2018 continues to drive as fast as he dare to get around the corner while the weather is favorable. Игорь Зарецкий IGOR is still happy as can be to be free of his Barnacle farm and wants to get going as soon as possible.
Susie Goodall Racing will be off the ship tomorrow and word is that there may be quite a bit of media waiting for her on the dock along with her mother. To step foot on land for the first time in 165 days will be another quite strange sensation and our thoughts are with her.
PARIS NAUTIC Boat show... All the GGR team are at the Nautic for a GGR Les Sables d'Olonne Agglomération PRESS EVENT starting at 1100hrs local time and JL VDH will call in. If you are around you are all welcome. we will be on the VENDEE Stand HALL 1 just beside the MAIN STAGE! see you there.
i agree with "should be just 700 miles" (VDH versus Mark) but after (in 36 hours), wind trade will rotate East for VDH and Nord for Mark😍
