At the first score on Thursday, November 14, Yoann Richomme, leading the 10th edition of the Vendée Globe for 24 hours, took advantage of the night to widen the gap on Charlie Dalin between the Azores and the Canaries.
At the latest classification, nearly 17 nautical miles separate the two men, Jeremy Beyou completing the podium 25 miles behind.
This is the first time that Yoann Richomme is taking part in the Vendée Globe, he who is a double winner of the Route du Rhum in the Class40 category and a double winner of the Solitaire du Figaro.
