Drama in the Deep South - Vendee Globe - Week Six - 19-12-24
We’re into Week 6 of the Vendée Globe, the fleet is at the bottom of the world and life hasn’t got any easier. A big lead has been gobbled up, a rig has come crashing down and the list of casualties has been growing.
There's also been some incredible racing with boats in sight of eachother running neck and neck after more than 40 days of racing.
But for all the distractions of the competition the stress is building for many of the skippers as they brace themselves for another brutal storm approaching from behind.
Matt Sheahan reports.
