Fixing The J2 - Day 26 - Vendée Globe

For safety reason Boris and due to someone in the fleet having an issue with their J2 furler the sailors with the same furler were advised to lash their furler tacks to the drum.This is in order to ensure no other failures occur. Boris spent two hours today performing this job which cost him some miles… however safety first and losing the j2 or even worse the mast would be a much bigger negative impact.

Beautiful footage Boris and showing your essential skills you need for a race like this. Hope you didn’t loose too much ground carrying out the repair but it had to be done to continue safely. Best. Greg 🇬🇧

Ich stelle mir vor, wie du jetzt in der Nacht mit 30kn durch das Meer pflügst/fliegst ....
Völlige Dunkelheit ringsherum ... ich würde mich zu Tode fürchten ...
Gänsehaut. ...
Eine gute Nacht, Boris, ein paar gute Schlafetappen....💤😴💤 🎶🌌

Interessante Perspektive, so wirkt die Malizia wie ein winziges Boot.😊

Boris I am continually amazed by your home making skills!
Never considered sewing to keep the mast vertical in that category before.
You earned another trip into those warm fuzzy booties!
