how Dalin shattered the Vendée Globe record

History has hit the fast forward button. Nine days at a time; 64 or 65 days of crossing compared to the 74 days of Armel Le Cléac’h (74 days 3 hours and 35 minutes, in 2016-2017). Record shattered. Half an ocean apart. “There we have it for twenty years, unless we put reactors on the boats…” measure Jean Le Cam (current 15th), who has already seen six Vendée Globes from the inside and rather in front.
