Dalin left Sables-d’Olonne (west) on November 10 and crossed the line at sunrise at 8:25 a.m. (GMT+1) under the horns of a large procession of boats. He was the leader for a large majority of the course and should be ahead of Paprec Arkéa skipper Yoann Richomme by a good half-day.

More than two months later, Charlie Dalin will be able to touch dry land. He completed the Vendée Globe off the coast of Les Sables-d’Olonne in 64 days and 19 hours. This is a new record for the event. The previous one was held since 2017 by Armel Le Cléac’h (Banque Populaire VIII) in 74 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes and 46 seconds.
