The 40 Vendée Globe skippers followed the last briefing before departure this Friday, November 8, 2024. The weather conditions predict a calm and tight start.
Very light winds are forecast for November 10, for the start of the 10th edition of the Vendée Globe. As for Monday, sun and northeast wind are on the agenda. Under these conditions, it is “ un fairly pleasant start to the race », which is emerging according to Louis Duc.
A very calm start
Pleasant for some, too soft for others. With these forecasts, the most powerful boats will not be able to take a large lead from the start. You will have to elbow your way during the first week and remain vigilant to avoid collisions.
Everyone must now establish or refine their departure strategy before reporting alone on board, Sunday, probably without change, at 1:02 p.m.
