3e of the solo race, the skipper of Groupe Dubreuil filmed himself 15 meters high repairing his mast in the open sea.
The video is spectacular. We see Sébastien Simon, currently third in the Vendée Globe behind Charlie Dalin and Yoann Richomme, filming himself from 15 m high making repairs to his mast.
The skipper of the Imoca Groupe Dubreuil had to change an aerial and the VHS antenna obliges. For an exceptional view. And a moment that was hardly appreciated. “If I take out the phone, it’s not to be smart,” says Sébastien Simon in a video published by the Vendée Globe. (…) Believe me, it's not a cakewalk. I really didn't want to go there and I can't wait to get down. I'm a little dizzy, so I don't like it at all. »
Currently off the coast of Vitoria (Brazil), the Vendéen is progressing at a faster pace than Yoann Richomme and Charlie Dalin, respectively second and first in the standings for the solo, non-stop and unassisted round-the-world race.
