SOLO, NON-STOP & AROUND THE WORLD |
Imagine being alone, confined to a boat no larger than 40 square meters, amid extreme weather conditions that test your endurance and psyche. You're at Point Nemo in the Pacific Ocean—the most remote spot from land on the planet. Each moment is a surge of emotion: fear, loneliness, and passion for the sport. It's crazy. And it's called the Vendée Globe. |

|
|
Solo, non-stop, around the world, and without assistance. The Vendée Globe is a truly unique race, and 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of this legendary adventure. |
