Conrad Colman (40), who has American and New Zealand nationality, did not even cross the starting line and headed towards land. The skipper of MS Amlin will therefore take a delayed start, that is to say that it “may take the start later after agreement with the race director at the time indicated to him by the race committee”as explained in the Vendée Globe notice of race.
Colman will have ten days maximum to start again.
