With 130 nautical miles to go to the finish line of the Vendée Globe, the 25th and final skipper Ari Huusela has made what should be his final tack of the race and the 58 year old Finnish skipper is this afternoon concentrating on tidying his boat and having everything in perfect shape for his arrival across the finish line which should be – he believes – around 0900hrs UTC Friday morning, 1000hrs local time.
