Re-join Alex Thomson as he pushes on with the final stages of the repair work onboard HUGO BOSS to rejoin the Vendee Globe.
This ‘final repairs’ video – ‘hopefully for the last time’ – posted around 12:00 hrs on Wednesday 25 November by Alex, as he attaches final strengthening structure to the damaged frame.
It’s been tough work in cramped, humid conditions. But so far, so good!
