    British Vendée Globe skipper Sam Goodchild

    Justin Chisholm’s guest is the British solo offshore skipper Sam Goodchild. Sam recently fulfilled a 14 -year dream to compete in the Vendée Globe solo, nonstop, around-the-world race. Racing as part of Thomas Ruyant’s two boat TR Racing campaign and on a previous generation IMOCA he led the race several times in the early stages heading down the Atlantic and entered the final fortnight of the race in a battle for fourth place with Vendée veteran Jérémie Beyou on his new generation boat Charral. Disappointingly Sam then suffered catastrophic mainsail damage in a storm on the approach to Cape Finisterre at the entrance to the Bay of Biscay that saw him split his mainsail in two. Ever resourceful Sam somehow managed to glue the sail back together on the rolling pitching wave-washed deck of his 60-foot yacht and get back in the race to finish a highly credible ninth overall. Justin caught up with Sam recently at his home in Lorient where he lives with his wife and two children.
