Vendée Globe Monday 27th January Update - Too rough to approach Les Sables d'Olonne

by Mark Jardine 26 Jan 23:01 PST 27 January 2025

The storm in the North Atlantic has made it too rough in Les Sables d'Olonne for latest Vendée Globe finishers Benjamin Dutreux and Clarisse Crémer to enter the channel, so they've had to divert to La Rochelle for shelter.

We bring you updates from them, and then Kojiro Shiraishi at the equator and Violette Dorange making a delicious dinner at sunset.

We then look at the Tracker, Leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for Romain Attanasio in 14th, who is aiming to the west of the Azores exclusion zone.

We conclude with Andi Robertson interviewing Sam Goodchild after he finished over the weekend.
