live leaderboard and map

Four years after Yannick Bestaven’s victory, the 10th edition of the Vendée Globe started this Sunday from Les Sables d’Olonne. And as tradition dictates, the start was given at 1:02 p.m. In 2024, will the record be broken? As a reminder, the record is held by Armel Le Cléac’h, who completed the race in 74 days 3 hours 35 minutes and 46 seconds in 2017. A record which had been established due to the “mild” conditions, notably until Cape of the Ecuador. Here is the real-time map of the Vendée Globe to follow the race live.

The Vendée Globe route

In total, 45,000 kilometers are on the program with 24,300 nautical miles of theoretical distance passing through three capes: Bonne Espérance, Leeuwin and Horn, all, non-stop and without assistance.
