The sailor who won't give up
Conrad Colman is still racing over a month after the winner crossed the finish line
The winner in the Vendee Globe solo round-the-world yacht race, Armel Le Cl茅ac'h, crossed the line more than one month ago but there are still a few boats yet to finish.
One of them is Foresight Natural Energy, whose skipper Conrad Colman was in 10th place and in the home stretch when his boat lost its mast in strong winds. Refusing to quit he's now sailing at walking pace, trying to complete the last few hundred miles before he runs out of food or power.
He speaks to Sarah Montague from his yacht about why he won't give up.
