@MigTheSailor@SVRLazartigue@TJV_officiel I suspect, that since they're [only?] in it for the record, they'll stop if beating the record becomes improbable; even if they can repair at sea.
In lieu of all the discussion about eyewall mesovortices, eyewall replacement cycles, and rapid intensification w/ Hurricane #Helene lately:
I've made this handy flow chart diagram that highlights the cyclical relationship between eyewall mesovortices, eyewall replacement cycles, and rapid intensification in intense hurricanes.
Note: this diagram simplifies & leaves a lot of processes out for brevity.
Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the season, rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm, breaking records and stunning scientists along the way.

"It was a bad time for that to happen with such variable wind, adding another element to an already difficult part of the leg..."

Clothing is important in the Southern Oceans, however we're being let down in the gloves department. If any followers have a solution for the trifector being thermal warmth, waterproof & dexterity; we appreciate them on leg 3.

Hurricane #Idalia just made landfall near Fish Creek, Florida 🐟 🎣 as a strong category 3 hurricane.
#Idalia was also in the initial stages of an eyewall replacement cycle at landfall, with a concentric outer band of convection & a secondary wind maxima developing ~ 2.5-3 additional radii outward from the center of circulation.
