You are unbelievable....
The boat and racing is cool but she is and amazing person.
Not a sailor, this video really makes me want to find out more about the adventures of these remarkable sportsmen and women. Too bad that mainstream media (in the UK at least) fail to bring this sport to a wider audience. Sailing, in all its forms, can inspire and educate us all. Team building, leadership, endurance, technology, craftsmanship. It's all there.
The admission that women were at a disadvantage by a lack of muscle mass compared with men is a telling one. Its just a fact , not a admission of being less capable in every other way - why is this so hard to talk about ?
SEA WOLF!
I really enjoyed this feature. Thank you
"... which sets out the levels of transparency, accountability and financial integrity that are required from those bodies that receive Government and National Lottery Funding" So... no wonder she talks like a pimp, right?
The impolite cocktail intrahepatically crack because format disappointingly drown to a makeshift mustard. real, ragged servant
awesome..

Bravo Sam ,
Thank goodness this women is being sponsored ... she represents the very best of humanity!
Bravo et bonne chance pour le Vendée Globe 2020, à notre bretonne de coeur !
I've just clicked on Initiatives Coeur's Facebook page.
Excellent insight The way he answers the question shows he is a good dad 😇
Shared by email with my granddaughter. What a life she has!
Go Sam, good luck and regards from Albany western Australia, we'll wave as you speed by in the lead!!
Is there a link, preferably in English, to the page where clicks mean donations? Sorry if I just missed it.
Here you go: www.initiatives-coeur.fr/en You can click on the Facebook and Instagram logos on that page and it will take you to their FB and IG accounts to click and share.
People like this are a real inspiration to me
I've worn waterproof trousers and it's complete crap... washing machines down with hot or cold water whatever... madness ensues.... so...
Fabulous gutsy lady. Hats off to you on all your acheivements. You are an inspiration to all young and old. Hope you win the Vendee Globe. All the best.
No point of helping those cannibals. They will eat their own and be happy - it's natural selection. The lady is very well spoken. Pretty amazing, considering all she does is speaking to the fish.
Well done Sam, a great approach to sponsorship Will be passing this on and sharing. Good luck in the Vendee Globe 👍
Awesome - as a Windsurfer, realizing this is a million times more difficult - inspiring!
Thank you so much, this is incredible , one of the most beautiful thing I've seen ever
What true heroine. Well done, Sam, and best of luck.
Wow Sam! Loved your video, you are a true inspiration and your charity is well worth supporting. good luck and we wish you "Bons vents!"
Keep up the great work !
Give me a break, these "new" sailors suck compared to the old heads like: Dennis Conner, Chris Dickson etc....
Great...legend
Great interview of a great lady! Watching this day after the start of the Vendee Globe and wishing her Bon voyage!
WoW! WoW! You are a star!!!!!! Vendee Globe 2020........... going to follow you all the way...... enjoy and stay safe!
Go get em Girl!!!!
Guys, with Sam and Alex, it won't be an easy game this year for us french. You deserve to win, my fav is Alex...or Sam.
Wünsche ihnen Samantha Davies viel Erfolg. Mast- und Schotbruch! Respect Lady!
Talking about losing foils, I imagine it took some work to wriggle Alex Thomson out of this report, given she was talking about the Vendée Globe!
Maaaaaan, she's an impressive human!
Sam, you mentioned some new technology that the latest yachts are using to detect whales and other marine items in the water in order to prevent collision. I'm working with a group regarding insuring whales and this technology could be very interesting. Can you share any information?
Sorry it's in french. The Name is OSCAR : www.google.com/amp/s/www.lesechos.fr/amp/1154534
Wonderful!
Sam, you are indeed an inspiration. I will do my best to get a lot of clicks :-) Bon chance!
Thank you for the story and good luck at your Vandee Globe.
You are an Inspirational lady. Well done good luck.
Yeah Sam!
🙏⛵️
a really inspiring and informative video. Wow Sam!!!!!!!!
Agreed!
Best of luck, Sam, and thank you for highlighting the miraculous work of the pediatric/neonatal cardiac surgical teams. Their skills are among the most rare in all medicine. Anyone who wants to learn more about it should read “Walk on Water” by Mark Rhulman. A fascinating book. Thanks again, and fair winds!
This is a very special share from a very special person. Thank you. (7/21/2020)
I will be showing my daughters this video. What an amazing individual.
Sam is so very inspiring while being so courageous. Watching this video has brightened my day amidst SARS CoV2 so I will certainly "hit the like" during her race.
Really hope you and Clarisse finish well in the Vendee 🤙⛵️
*Vendée
I am looking forward to see Sam racing the Vendee again. Good luck!
Enjoyed that. Good luck to all who make the start line.
Brilliant.
Sam is awesome! A great inspiration to sailing.
there was a french guy who wrote a blog.. but no ones yet has done anything of note here
I liked this report so much. The boat is IMPRESSIVE but she is more. What a highly competent and humble person she seems to be!

This was a fantastic video! Thanks for letting Sam talk. Thanks for not having a bunch of fast edits. A lot of this type of content is in the French language. This was fantastic.
I want the boat.
What an amazing and inspiring girl and a worthy cause. Cant wait to show the video to my grand daughter
Pulling for you and your sponsor. Be safe and sail fast.
Go girl and how inspiring Sam. You 've already done some amazing achievements
