Hugo Boss skipper, trimmer, mainsheet hand, helmsman, navigator, cook and bowman, Alex Thomson fields some questions from fans on Day 57 of the Vendee Globe, solo round the world race.
He talks about power generation, engine use, how he copes with going through a wave, working on the bow, weather analysis, tactics, and best point of sailing for Hugo Boss - or as he puts it 'holiday time'!
Now 160nm behind race leader Armel Le Cleac'h, having been almost within sight of Banque Populaire V a couple of days ago, Thomson's best chance of regaining the race lead lies with taking a different route through the Doldrums.
