“I try not to think too much about the finish”: Charlie Dalin confides his final feelings less than 150 miles from the finish of the Vendée Globe

“I’m still in my race”

“I remain focused,” says the skipper of Macif, who is 180 miles ahead of his first pursuer, Yoann Richomme. I continue to rest, eat well, trim the boat well. The conditions are quite unstable so I try to find a compromise so that the boat always moves at an acceptable speed. I’m still in my race, I’m trying not to think too much about the finish. In recent days, I have surprised myself several times by covering a lot of distance in a short time. It is always when we are close to the destination of the trip that time passes less quickly. »
