Ho, ho, Horn! | Vendée Globe 2024

Eyes that sparkle

Enough to give him a good boost to stand up to Damien Seguin (APICIL Group), who continues to get closer to his rear. A situation which, of course, does not particularly enchant him: if he had hoped for a little company for this special day, he would have clearly preferred it to come from a competitor in front! “ The wind is a little unstable. I feel like I never have the right canvas », lamented Romain who is hanging on, however boosted by the prospect of passing Cape Horn in his turn, even if it will only be, for him, in a big week… and in possibly 50 knots of wind if the forecasts are confirm. “ It has time to change ten times between now and then. What is certain is that I would love to take advantage of conditions as incredible as those enjoyed by Yoann and Charlie last night. », sighed Romain who is, at the moment, not the only one to dream of being in the place of the two leaders. “ It seems crazy to imagine that they are already back in the Atlantic, while I am barely in the Pacific, near Macquarie Island! It’s crazy stuff! », Commented Sébastien Marsset (Foussier), still fighting in the group of drift boats. A group which, for its own Christmas, will benefit from the return of the wind to its racing area during the day, which remains, in this case, a nice gift after long hours stuck in soft water!
