The Latest Vendée Victories - Vendée Globe Week Twelve 29-1-25
It's been busy in Les Sables d'Olonne this week as an intense stream of finishers swept across the line to complete their Vendée Globes. Each one of them is received back as a winner, victorious in their sprint around the world. And while the southern hemisphere is notorious for wild weather and its remoteness, the Atlantic has demonstrated once again that it can also bare its teeth. In the last week a string of serious storms have not only made it stressful for the skippers on their approach to a finish line not far from a lee shore, but in some cases it has been impossible to get into the harbour afterwards. Just getting the shore crew on board has been a challenge in the huge seas that have been rolling into the French coastline. The 10th edition of the Vendée Globe continues to be an extraordinary event with more curved balls thrown at the fleet than ever before. But despite the weather, the French support for each and every sailor has, as always, been solid and spectacular. So, this week we focus on the six latest victories.
