Les Sables d’Olonne, France (February 3, 2025; Day 86) – After Romain Attanasio (FRA) enjoyed his finish and then channel passage late yesterday morning, in 14th position, four other skippers have followed one another across the finish line of Les Sables d’Olonne today.
First in today, and 15th overall, after a cold frosty final night of light winds was Damien Seguin (FRA) to complete his second Vendée Globe, at the dawn of the beautiful sunny day. In his wake, Benjamin Ferré (FRA), Tanguy Le Turquais (FRA) and Alan Roura (CHE), produced a breathtaking finish, completing their races within just 35 minutes separating 16th and 18th, really nothing at all after 85 days and nearly 30,000 nautical miles of racing. These three newly finished skippers will sail up the channel today, in an atmosphere that promises to be fiery.
Isabelle Joschke (FRA, DEU) in 19th, followed by Jean Le Cam (FRA) and Conrad Colman (USA, NZL) are expected in the evening and night while the Italian Giancarlo Pedote, should finish tomorrow morning.
