 The Golden Globe 2019  Les Sables d'Olonne FRA  Day 212  JeanLuc Van den Heede FRA about to finish
Around 9h a.m. UTC this morning, Jean-Luc Van Den Heede FRA will reach the finish of the 50-Year-Jubilbee Round-the-World Golden Globe Race as winner. On yachts of the 1968 generation without all the technical and electronic features available today, this circumnavigation lasts of course much longer as today's Vendee Globe. Van den Heede was 212 days underway ! The facebook page informs about the details.
The second-ranked Mark Slats NED is in a difficult approach to the finish hit by a heavy winter storm on the Gulf of Biscay. Adviced by the Spanish Coast Guard, he veered direction Spanish coast to weather the storm. For the unallowed outside communication, he will get a time penalty.
The news.
