Violette Dorange - The Brightest New Star? - Vendee Globe - Week 14 13-2-25
Fourteen weeks in and the finishers keep coming and while every one has every reason to celebrate, Violette Dorange could be the brightest star in a fleet of round the world rock stars. At 23 she is the youngest skipper ever to have completed the Vendée Globe and she came home to an incredible welcome. But Dorange's achievement is about far more than simply being the youngest. The candid way in which she told her story as she headed into the unknown has built her a huge following on social media and now in the mainstream French press. Matt Sheahan takes a look at her success. Plus, we report on the four other 'winners' that crossed the line this week to complete their Vendée Globes CHAPTERS & LINKS 01:00 Guirec Soudée 02:21 Kojiro Shiraishi 02:59 Violette Dorange 07:09 Louis Duc 08:41 Sébastien Marsset 09:24 Rankings PREVIOUS VENDEE GLOBE REPORTS - Records, Champagne & Crisis - Vendée Globe Week 13 - 6-2-25 https://youtu.be/qDM-yrxCepo The Latest Vendée Victories - Vendée Globe Week Twelve 29-1-25 https://youtu.be/9pfL0HvL0ps - Broken Boats, Bodies & Stress - Vendée Globe Week 11 - 23-1-25 https://youtu.be/FM4mOW3Q3KM - Why Was Charlie Dalin So Quick? - Vendée Globe Week 10 - 15-1-25 https://youtu.be/SGbYOWdXZYk - Into The Finish - Vendee Globe - 13 -1-25 https://youtu.be/H06AXfdqmsY - Ice, Lightning & Stress - Vendee Globe - Week Nine 9 -1-25 https://youtu.be/Y3sQkGr_URE - The Turning Point - Vendee Globe - Week Eight 2-1-25 https://youtu.be/tpHyhuMTHtI - Emotions Run High and Low - Vendee Globe - Week Seven 26 12 24 https://youtu.be/1Dy0y5qI7bc - A Massive New Cape Horn Record - Vendee Globe https://youtu.be/-0aGaQkKKJY
