A record arrival. Sixty-five days after the start of the 10th edition of the Vendée Globe from Les Sables d’Olonne, Charlie Dalin is expected back in the Vendée commune, Tuesday January 14, for a fanfare arrival and to register his name for the first time in the winners of the event.
A record victory. On his Imoca Macif Santé Prévoyance, Charlie Dalin should make Vendée Globe history, with an unassisted sailing trip around the world completed in 65 days. Enough to shatter the previous record of Armel Le Cléac’h, 74 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes and 46 seconds, established during the 2016-2017 edition.
The end of a long duel with Yoann Richomme. Since taking power on December 31, Charlie Dalin has fought a breathtaking duel with Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa). The 40-year-old skipper, who led around two thirds of the scores, battled for a long time with his elder brother, before distancing himself in the final days of the race.
A first coronation for Charlie Dalin. With this prestigious victory, the skipper from Le Havre undoubtedly erases the pain of the 2020-2021 edition. First to cross the finish line, he finally finished second after the bonus granted to Yannick Bestaven for saving Kevin Escoffier.
