The favorite remains at the head of the Vendée Globe. Charlie Dalin (Macif Santé Prévoyance) regained a little lead over Thomas Ruyant (Vulnerable), Monday November 25, at the 7 a.m. check-in. He is exactly 49.66 nautical miles ahead of his runner-up and 58 over the current third and former leader, Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa).
Thanks to the depression, allowing the fleet to accelerate, the latter took the record for the greatest distance traveled in 24 hours. If there are six to have beaten the record that he had already established between Tuesday and Wednesday, Yoann Richomme has the last word, for the moment, with 579.86 miles (1,073.9 km) swallowed up in 24 hours. “Everyone is going fastnotes Thomas Ruyant. I just peaked at 32 knots, I feel like a little animal in a hull going at Mach 12.”
A fairly large gap was created between the leading trio and their four immediate pursuers. Sam Goodchild (Vulnerable) has lost three places, going from 4th to 7th position, but he is only 12 miles behind Sébastien Simon (Groupe Dubreuil), new 4th. 39 boats in total are still in the race.
