Sam Goodchild has been working incredibly hard to fix his mainsail in the Vendée Globe as the leaders on the water approach Cape Finisterre. We get an update from him, together with glue and patches, then receive updates from Alan Roura and Kojiro Shiraishi, while Conrad Colman runs through what he does for power generation when the sun isn't shining.

We conclude with an update from Oliver Heer.
