RELENTLESS

twenty-five par 3 on 8 for the 22nd and Robin knocks Johnson and Sue Haley has sailed non-stop around the world today more 3,000 people at man Everest more than 600 people in outer space but still less than 100 people have ever sailed solo non-stop around the world let's start the pond makeover go all the way around the world on my own the funny goat is in uni dress one-person one-vote no stopping no stepping on dry land it's simple is pill I don't need anything tougher you climb Everest I know that is really really tough but you're not racing someone else to do go around the world on this boat he's crazy I have absolutely no idea how he does it there was an endurance for it's the hardest race in the world two and a half to three months out there against the elements the temperatures the sea state the winds day who in their right mind what to do that nothing is a matter - but here we go around the world the better [Music] it is the world's most difficult sporting challenge it's a true test of a person's mental and physical strength relentless is a word that we use a lot start to finish this relentless you know it's a constant battle it's one of those challenges that I don't think people fully appreciate it's not just one man on one boat attempting so around the world it's the way that person has to handle themselves during that course of that time less than 50% of the boats that start finish it is extremely challenging once you get 600 miles offshore on any landmass in the world there is no rescue services there are no helicopters there are no planes you are on your own sailors a finisher are simply heroes and to win it it's the stuff of legends [Applause] there have been a huge amount of people he would put their life and their soul was in trying to finish this race and there's been some notable great British sailors who attempted to climb this mountain Brian Thompson Sam Davies deke fari like Golding Pete Goss Ellen MacArthur Alex since he's first stepped on one of these boats has had an ambition to become the first known French person to win the Wonder globe since it was created back in the 1980s place avid lon fishing village on the west of France is the start and finish port for this race and it starts every four years it is 26,000 nautical miles and it takes anything between two and a half four and a half months depending on your skill of the sailor and the speed of your boat he's headed down the Atlantic past Cape of Good Hope cascade blue and in Australia around Cape Horn and South America and back to liseberg lon it's really quite an insane thing to do when you think about it this day's a special day and it can be very emotional very difficult for everybody I mean but it's also very different quite unique managed to keep the emotion back mostly here I've even got my sunglasses off it's pretty stressful while he's out there for everybody involved it's that much I've been feeling stress Tommy is turning I was saying yesterday gets better but I think it does you try not to think about the previous occasions you get the three o'clock in the morning call to say something's happened and just think of the positive side of things my max [Music] jah-el sunglasses so so excited for him as well as obviously a little bit scared which one hold it together best canva sure there'll be a few tears as a lead noise is incredible incredible the French spectators here really know what these guys are about to go through all the amazing experiences I have had in sport this is certainly the most emotional sporting event on the planet it's so good to have some nice weather and the people not to drown in the rain look at them it's incredible they care so much it's really hard and a stronger team as I really struggle going down that canal nearly half a million people that are speaking your name and it's amazing but it's emotionally really hard for the skipper's [Music] [Music] certainly not operating on all servers up into the start there's a clicker that's it I'm off there's no thought about whether I should be doing it does any looking for [Music] we'll explain yonder you start like 29 skippers you know generally they're made up of ten that could win tender could folio and ten adventurers we never really knew we were in terms of speed with the other guys we don't train with them we don't sail with them well the first snack was good very little sleep and I'm windy towards the end I saw a top speed of 35 knots I managed to sneak in to leave her while I managed to take the lead but then having had no sleep at all I made a ridiculous mistake by driving away from the favorite it cost me a hundred miles I did see some people calling it was like the hard bricks and I'd gone off the other way but there's always opportunity than the cape verdeans to me was that there you never know it's really going to work but it weren't fantastically good crossing through the Cape Verde Islands worked out very well for me I was surprised that nobody else did the same thing my reputation is that I take lots of risk I'm a maverick in theory and I used to like that when I got that reputation in 2003-2004 probably for breaking the world speed record on my first day 360 way so the record have been there for a long time and I destroyed it initially I was quite happy without really you know fantastic people think I'm fast if they had an average grade he's naturally an aggressive sailor and it goes fast remember the first time we did the Vonda I went and wrote in the side the cabin remember you've got to be racing tomorrow don't kill the boat today I had straight line going fast I never saw a zero point zero zero and I was in and out in a day normally the rich get richer at this stage boiling hydroponics changing off sport we're going from boats that push a lot of water around to boats that becoming closer to aeroplanes the foil in laymen terms basically lists the boat out of water as it lifts the barrel of water as less drag your sees it for the boat to carry repairs through faster the boat is going fast life is good I felt good I felt really happy still you have to be very careful not to think too far forwards so even though I was leaving the pond they glowed and I felt good about you don't think about the finish something will come up and bite you this is a fun day go you have to expect the unexpected there's so much misfortune in this race of hitting things that flooding the water and containers or icebergs and it's not given that anyone will finish this race never gnome podium I was in bed at the time and the boat suddenly fell over into a big brooch so I went up for words and I'd look at the top of the keel and the top of the kill wasn't attached to the Rams anymore in six hours time I'm going to have a severe Gale nine in those conditions it's quite possible that the keel will swing into the boat and then hold the boat from there the boat could think so in 2006 my killer broke halfway between Africa and Antarctica and my Golding another British skipper turned his boat around in a storm and sail back and rescued me off my sinking boat Here I am in the life raft Mike's just over here behind me who saved my life and that's happened time and time again with other skippers and and other teams fine Alex Thompson two o'clock this morning lugar boss was stationary with all our lights on and radar and everything on fishing boat ploughed straight into the side of us making a very big hole in the boats and breaking the must I couldn't understand what happened when that fishing boat hit me fired me to hold it by boat virtually destroyed when we got to the entrance of the south and on the tide was low and we needed two more hours we're tired to come up for us to enter the harbor and Alex myself Celestion let's get our heads down I was on one side of the bow he's on the other side and we woke up to a shout and then there was literally a metre and a half from my head a big piece of steel which was the bow of a fishing boat we then motored in tuna served alone with no mass and a massive hole in the side and you know for us before it's race over however the team got together and success the damage and we went bloody hard to get the boat back together again we did get to the start line but boat lasted 24 hours unfortunately sustained some more damage and they're not back and at the end of the dream really it's now today after all the effort he's been forced to pull out Gosport Alex a globe it's all over for the ham should say them in our game you have to be able to recover from the knots if you can't recover from it first time it happens that's the end you have to expect it deal with it and you have to move forwards leading down the Atlantic going fast there was an opportunity to make a quite a large breakaway I felt very positive very good with no bogus flight I was going really fast I didn't know how fast I was going to be honest I didn't even know that I was gonna break the world speed record at that time asleep of 20 minutes there was a all of sudden loud bang the boat turned hard to starboard and I rushed up on deck got the rudder back down again but very quickly I could see boiler broken and immediately go from this feeling of doing really well and competing to this feeling of devastation it's four years of your life pumped into this one moment I kind of knew before which was really weird I was with a friend when I said I'm really dreading picking up my phone and we went out and I like got the message about what happened then the worst bit then speaking obviously to Alex sister certeyn how he's feeling and obviously it's not gonna be feeling good I thought what's the point I'm not gonna podium I'll be lucky to be a top ten and probably the most damaged so that's it it's as much of a mental race if not more than the physical race I said to sure he said to me so like what you're gonna do Alex Russell well it's not like I can give our visits to it's not like I can stop this is a question anyway no you Carl Alex no I'm still smiling alex is never given up on anything it's like he can pop all the negative things and you can just move forward on being positive and continue even when he was younger big things happened and he was just able to power through and not let these things affect him I wanted to be adding up I might have a little helicopter pilot he was search-and-rescue helicopter pilot so I always wanted to do a dit when I was 17 I went to the local hospital in gospel and they told me my eyes were so bad that I couldn't even be a seaman in Romanian I kind of naturally fell back to my hobby sailing and I did my first Fastnet race in 1995 and I just found my vocation in life there are many times that we have the option to look at the glass being half empty all the glass being half full and I always choose the half full or of 3/4 for all just full overflowing he just doesn't see things in the same way as I think most people do so when something happens I'm still processing what's happened and probably the horror or the reality hasn't even hit me yet he's already done that moved on put a positive spin on it he just has this amazing ability just to switch his mindset pretty sorry for itself to cut it off but for now sun is shining the winds blowing you have to think possibly right from the get-go we've designed a technique together we call it the helicopter view those times when he's in the boat facing really tough challenges how can he mentally take himself up to the top of the mast get a helicopter view look down at himself and go what does that guy down there need to do right now the training kicks in and you start to allow positive thoughts to come in and I thought well imagine if I wonderful negative now imagine a black legend and so that's kind of how it started really still in the lead still going strong I had to really learn how to sail about the different way because the focus designed to have foils and we didn't have foils now so I didn't have a wing putting me back upright again they were surprised that I was able to still compete they thought that I had a blow-up one or I thought I hadn't broken it or they thought I had a spare and I thought it's quite good you know there's a bit of intrigue around the situation I think I have the lead for eight nine days after I broke the flow which surprised me or the sorted form on Calchas all selector almond appears to fit you perfectly crystal it gets the more go to bathroom so doing that our mal ever took me you know you have to be pragmatic about it I said to myself well I've just got to concentrate on getting to Rio de Janeiro from Rio de Janeiro almost all the way back we'll be on starboard so my mission is to be in contention I've managed to be well over the last couple of days been catching up on our mail a little bit I've just gone past the Kirkland Islands and the French TV station tf1 stuck a naval helicopter up there with a cameraman it wasn't really the day for a photo shoot his grave was miserable visibility was terrible and I remember thinking well this is pointless why would you bother I think the contrast of our mail to Alex wasn't the amazing father people saw our mail and he's got a spoil and he's very comfortable in that position and then just get to Alex you see how hard he's have to push the boat just to stay in touch with our mail without that foil that's the hardest parts of an ocean the stress and most of the guys throw back a bit but it wasn't allowed opportunity you should fall out the pressure system of the guy next he's in and that's it you'd never get her back you have to push the whole way yeah what's what happiness that wasn't really showcasing that was Alex sailing about in a pond a globe it's the first time they've shown that sort of footage in the Southern Ocean you just see how vulnerable he is in those situations there's an opportunity to show the public what we're doing then why not and if it's in the most extreme situations fantastic you know no one's done it before even better he's dead whether that's out saving or whether that's on the land or whether that's doing his stunts he's always pushing stuff to limit the kill walk the mass walk the Skywalk I've never come up with an idea that wasn't funded in some way to do the Marvel was by far and away to my mind the most dangerous I can't stand Heights I have a real issue with Heights so to make the decision when you're standing at the top of the mast and you look in 15 meters down to be able to dive especially having just come from Southampton the week before where they told me my diving was so bad they wouldn't even let me dive off five meters natural from one side I think the first one people thought was great the second one the mass what people thought was amazing but you know I never taught that so to be able to top it with the Skywalk was it was brilliant that was a just a crazy idea that I talked about and my pencil everybody's who taught me to read Casper we sat down talked around it and came up with the concept and then yeah we've delivered it [Music] we always come up the ideas though it's as fun when it's a business decision when it's his business it's his bow is his life it's always the risk sits of Alex I'm out here in the southern Indian Ocean about four thousand miles south of India and I'm neck and neck with a leader only one mile behind I'm hoping maybe I can take the lead on the next position report and then I overtook him we went back on starboard and I could see him he was a little tiny thing in the distance and I could see I was going past him well there is our Malik lash on Banque populaire slowly catching up the overnight days obviously come with a bit bit better breeze and maybe it spoils working a little bit or maybe mine's not working quite so good but he's definitely slightly quicker than me at the moment but it can't be helped I'm just going to carry on working hard and I'll be back on starboard yep that's starboard in less than a day so we look forward to that in the meantime I'm going to push hard as I can and try and stay in touch with this guy and see if we can at least try and go the same speed don't stop around the world when I'm standing out there you know I think a lot about the Romanovs Johnson he's been a great friend to me a great mentor but I can't help but think in 1968-69 when he sound around the world on a boat the average three or four knots it took nearly a year he had hardly any communications people didn't even know it was possible when he got back it was considered unbelievable it was probably considered more unbeli then putting a man one of their plan but I operate which tells you two things one how difficult it is and two how little we know about the solution when you go into Southern Ocean as a sailor you can't wait to get there because the waves are massive if you think about it when you get far enough south you could go all the way around the planet on that latitude without touching any lap so a wave that starts in South America can go all the way around the world and impede it to South America and so that's why they kept so big you can definitely see waves of three and a half double-decker buses that's huge huge weight when you're at the top of a wave and you're looking down we call that runway then when you get down the bottom of when she stops it's extremely exhilarating but at the same time it's extremely dangerous and after a couple of days you just want to get out are you gonna be down there for five weeks when you are out of sight of land you have a real understanding of how small we are as a human race how insignificant we are and that is a humbling experience when you're going faster which you must always out are in the southern ocean and you're isolated down there and you've come very aware that there are no rescue services you know there's nobody to rescue you nobody to help you you're miles away from land there anything around you are birds and albatross the scary thing is your mind does start to learn it your mind starts to wonder what's going to happen grams if the structure fails Lam's if you hit something what happens if the mast falls down but of course when you start thinking like that the body's natural defense mechanism is to come adrenaline into your body when it does that your heart rate raises and then you've got zero chance at going to sleep I do wonder why I do it sometimes why why why do I do this how it's why are you doing this and even in the great situations when you're doing really well you wonder why you know it is so hard it's a true test of a person's mental and physical strain I'm in second place 100 miles behind the leader on our request and the forecaster have up to 45 knots a win which could see some quite big gusts may be up to 50 55 knots so there's a few are a few hectic days to come sleeping's been a bit difficult with the high speeds big decelerations and accelerations so I'm a little bit tiring to try and catch up get my beauty sleep in the next few days I genuinely love doing what I do and the hardest bit of love is actually the race itself because there isn't much pleasure in it it's just brutal it's never-ending you know the first few days of the race I might not sleep at all 10 15 20 minutes to describe it to a non sailor you were able to drive down a rally track we're going at Mac five panelists Road and its portly way what would your brain be screaming at do you have to exert some control over those headings of your emotions and you have to be able to get your head down and get some sleep otherwise you would just go mad and I've got to the point where I've seen stuff but I was aware that it was actually a dream state so although I thought I was awake I was actually dreaming and seeing stuff when the alarm goes off to say that wind speeds exceeded my cell arm then I kind of half wake everything arts alright so and so usually my brother my brother or or a friend of mine Josh will be we'll go in either main tour of course suddenly a few seconds later I realize there's nobody on board is gonna read some aenthul and I jump out of bed but it's a bit of a strange dream to be having but sometimes I wish would be nice to have somebody on board just to say hello to you but obviously that won't be happening for a while I think when you get very tired then people can talk about hallucinating but this is the fourth time I've done the Fonda globe now so you have a certain level of experience so I never got that time well Alex was mentioned to me and it was suggested that he was a good sailor and could make her tip a skipper now I was 24 years old then I'd only been sailing yachts for three years so I decided the best thing to do since I was getting up to Greenland take him along as the mate and I decided at the end of that that he was quite capable of taking charge of the boat and ciders him skipper Keith Mills was one of my crew on the round-the-world race he pushed me he said to me one day he said Alex you said you were gonna do the Honda glow who are you ever gonna do it he said I believe you have the talent and I believe you have the capability so I will help you to get to your dream of winning the Von D glow of course I'm here to compete in the Honda globe even then he felt that he could win the von de glow which was kind of mad but that's the attitude that you need to have I think I'd the ability to be able to win the race but we certainly didn't have a machine we didn't know how to prepare the machine in the way that we needed to we weren't getting the detail completely right not just about racing around the world on your own how do you put together a team how do you capture the detail and then once you start the race then it's about managing it it never stops Alex for me is a bit of an enigma how do you have such a warm entertaining passionate people person he puts himself in the loneliest scariest environment in the world in true isolation it's weird you're Alex it's a great friend of mine and when you know someone as well as I know Alex but we don't understand part of him and what he does then there's always a little bit of her uncertainty he's a mystery to all of us and I think to himself at times it's not the easiest thing for me to do to go and spend all that time on your own particularly by choice I wear my heart on my sleeve I'm emotional fellow and it's not necessarily the perfect fit for my character hey listen all the Facebook supporters and fans thank you so much for your messages I do get them all I do have a bit of time to read them what I got the mainsheet in my hand Alex use what's the hardest or least enjoyable part of the funding cut another though there's being cold wet eating the same boring food being on your own he leaves people who Neal who spend a lot of time on the phone and asked his motivation that's what keeps him going the phone rings my first thought is I hope everything's all right so I pick up the phone I answer it always with some nervousness and when I hear the sea first of all first of all I hear the rushing of the wind or the waves and then by his first syllable of his voice I can tell whether everyone's up here not and most of the time it's updated it's a human connection etc but quite often it's one we're in hello and then silence and I know what's then happened I know and something scary's happened and he just needs much talk to him to help them they don't normalize what's going on in his world a big part of being able to remain positive is to be able to talk positively come on Alex pull yourself together or if it's decision time I might say come on just trust yourself trust yourself being on your own and making decisions is hard and so sometimes I will play the devil's advocate I'll have a discussion with somebody else but it's me and by putting yourself in somebody else's shoes you can get a different view oh good trying to get some sleep that's pretty difficult when the sun's out I'm smiling and in the pitch black at the middle right well some lots of brown trousers a moment shall we say Corran Lee I've got 19 knots of wind five minutes ago it was 38 knots currently it's it's sunny five minutes ago it was like nighttime and try not to think about where I am in the race I'm just trying to think about getting through this depression mix two three days and even sailing conservatively like I am with virtually no foil I've been triple reached at times you wonder how these boats take it I mean the punishment is extreme I don't really know what else I can do to to relieve it [Music] we're out there in that boat but that boat is indispensable as far as your lifestyle so the boat goes down you go with it there is zero but when we say she's built for speed not for comfort we really truly mean that I don't have a kitchen I have a device that boils some water the pockets behind I don't salt and pepper up here Worcester sauce some vitamins there is no sink I eat my food out of bags there's some freeze-dried spaghetti bolognaise beef a potato casserole lemon grunts it's mush there is not a toilet I have a bucket carbon-fibre bucket a good tool that one that's any won't you don't want it you don't want it falling over once you put something in there the bed is a mattress and they move around the boat it's designed partly by me it's designed for me my way my height my fitness my strength these machines are not just incredible the most high-tech machines on the water the thickest part of this boat now is 2.5 millimeters and so if I was to describe it as one of the largest base bins in the world that would be a good example and Carvin propagates noise fantastically well so every single noise is expanded and amplified and made louder which is great for me because I like to listen to it this is one of the reasons why I don't listen to music I want to listen to the bass I want to become entombment about I need to I need to hear it she's singing to me she's talking to me and when something is about to go wrong the first part you might hear a little change in note which gives you the opportunity to stop whatever's going to happen happen well it's just got light here and wasn't a very pleasant night to me in excess of 30 knots of times but that wasn't really the problem and I don't know if some of you realize but just over a year ago I was a hundred miles off the coast of Spain when I was hit by a huge wave in this boat and I was inside the boat the boat was turned upside down we ended up having to get airlifted off but last night I was lying in the bunk I grabbed the sleeve just as it was getting dark and year before the start the fun day I was upside down in my boat that's one of the moments where I thought this is it I woke up to the sound of the boat getting hit by a wave sideways and the boat leaning over a long way and in my mind my mind was telling me we were going upside down and it was just I start to dream about the boat you know what happened and then suddenly the boat was hit by a huge breaker wave I couldn't believe it I couldn't believe I was going to have and I was hanging on to the bunk expecting it my whole world turn upside down I got a cold saying that boat was upside down you know the sailors were underwater and there was a helicopter and a rescue beacon I cut off the first thing I saw was footage at that particular point that wasn't the most frightening point it was when he came home and he started talking about it and then the realization that he was going to use that boat to go on the Wanda globe he do that she say to me but he wasn't sure if that boat was gonna make it when I drove into the marina with that boat being towed behind the topo having salvaged it I felt proud that I bought the Boeing but I saw my team they were destroyed we'd spent the best part of five million pounds building that boat it was brand-new and it was on its first sail the boat goes to sea as a team and as someone who's so emotionally connected to the sailor and to the boat it's quite difficult for the team I think I asked probably the hardest period of the team you've ever gone through our baby to be born and then flipped over in a month later and to go out in a tug to drag it back in pieces soldier story even our look back and live a blur to still actually there's no other sport that I could be involved in where we can take a concept and put the paper go and sit with a design team test make models build put into a race circuit and compete you know we get to do the whole package from the first sketch to actually racing around the world davonne de globo is our Olympics is what we work for we're there to win we're there to be number one that's what we as a sports team is there to do and the team would spent two years preparing this boat for this race two years designing building they were spent they were knocketh they were done and for them to be able to pick themselves up and to give more give me a machine to give me the vehicle and the son of omni globe i take my house after them that's what teamworks not about jingle bells are Lick sales round the world he goes single-handed breaking records he's no twinkle toes no jingle bells Alex elf so much sea to cross happy Christmas everyone [Music] well this Christmas I was going back Cape Horn at times doing 30 knots I'd have a Christmas cake trees that was good did I manage to have a brief chat with Kate in the morning but the thing on that day was I was going round capable that is a big big thing because it's the first time where you actually point your boat and head for home you really feel that some of the weight is lifted off your shoulders when you're suddenly back to an area where and you could be rescued they were shipping there's land close by and the waves have been stopped it's to me the biggest most important you are mark of the entire race I think it's harder for the people left at home than it is for me because I'm in control of what's happening I don't ever feel scared really you know often anyway but of course a home they're left wondering what's going to be happening next right I try not to go there in my head with anything bad so I don't allow myself to think about it I don't really talk about it and I try not to panic it's quite hard to explain to people because they'll be like oh you must be so worried I'm like yeah I am I don't want to talk about it really so I think sometimes I might come across as quite cold about it all but that's the only way I come only cope with what he's doing it's harder for me because he didn't know what's going on but snot is it like let's be real it's not harder for me in the evenings I get into my lovely warm bed with my beautiful children and I'm not the one doing it it's pretty pretty amazing boats on fire okay fast currently 26 25 26 27 towards the end of the race obviously trying to win the race you 24-hour record whoa I'm trying to push hard but I'm also conscious the boats really tired and imagine the situation where I break the world record but break the boat I was cautious which is why I need broken by two miles few days three days for the finish just in order to play for I'll have to see what happens but one thing you can count on I'm gonna fight to the end you're 24 hours leading up to the finish I was dreading it a moment 100% routing hasn't been at six o'clock it will attack and another long leg on the floor over to hell even the day before the finish I don't actually think about the finish I can't think about it because if I think about it I get complacent the wind is due to die as it gets closer I've been at sea for 73 days it's completely normal and it's difficult to understand why there's gonna be such a big fuss and I was being warned that there was a big thing this is amazing the impact back in the UK has been fantastic number of texts I had a text when Prince Harry last night and everyone has got behind a like you've done such a great job councilman Ashe Thompson claimed second place in the race he'll shortly cross the finish line after what being a titanic battle with LeClair that saw them just 30 miles apart a couple of days ago let's not get away from the fact that what Alex Thompson has done has been heroic stuff with the damaged boat from about a third of the race in what a morning the Sun was rising and this black boat appeared on the horizon all these spectators cheering their hearts out see the vocal maybe the horizons amazing but then you see the little figure on the bow it's tiny and it's in the distance but you just can't believe what it's done so so close he definitely was very unlucky in that race I think if he hadn't lost the fall it could have been quite embarrassing to the other post it was a race that was his to win amazing amazing to have him home and have him safer to be able to see em and know where he is and and just not have to worry about him for a while the finish is amazing apart the cross on the line and those bits afterwards the hours are afterwards are such a buzz even though I'd had what five hours sleep over three days and not a single bit of sleep in the last 24 hours [Music] [Applause] everything just floats out all the emotion all the work and to see everybody again and to be able to tell the less Abdullah public thank you to them for making us feel so great on the way back [Music] [Applause] [Music] I don't know well done mate congratulations have to race you again [Applause] within half an hour I had little conversation with Cain and I said okay he said he's gonna do it again and she smiled she said he has to [Music] [Applause] I've been chasing the dream of winning the Vonda globe for nearly 15 years now and it's not been easy we've had great high points and big low points and it's the low points to really give her the opportunity to learn to be better and stronger as a team I was third in 2012 second in 2016 and in 2020 the aim is to win and nothing is gonna stop me from achieving this goal [Music] [Music] the fixation pushing back hard and spare them been slow [Music] you

Not very impressed, especially compared to Knox Johnston's achievement, or Captain Cook. Five million dollar boat and a huge support team. No contact, but on the phone all day every day.....

If he could do it with 20 containers on board, that would be much more impressive.

I would recommend something like Hold Fast if you want a really good sailing docu.
