Yacht Racing Life website editor Justin Chisholm is joined once again by ocean racing expert Conrad Colman to mull over the latest goings on in the Vendee Globe solo around-the-world yacht race.Amongst the topics discussed are:– Pip Hare’s daring and heroic mid-ocean rudder replacement– Should Alex Thomson have packed a spare rudder?– The needle match going on between Charlie Dalin and Thomas Ruyant for second place– Will Yannick Bestaven’s lead dwindle away over coming days?– Hats off to Damien Seguin and Louis Burton for their performances so far on non-foiling boats: at the time of recording they are fourth and fifth respectively– What happens next? Who might suffer most from a restart?
