-Charlie Dalin recounts his sometimes complicated crossing of the Vendée Globe
Interviewed recently by LiberationCharlie Dalin had also recounted some difficult moments during his crossing: “I was thrown two or three times against the bulkhead when crashing into the wave… notably once on the four winches, fortunately without hurting myself. My only injury to report was when I was sewing a sail in the hold, and I stuck a needle deep in my finger. I was afraid the tendon would be affected and it would become infected. I was in the middle of the Pacific“. Moments quickly forgotten during his victory on January 14, 2025.
