IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2024 - Les Sables d'Olonne FRA - Day 65

Victory for Charlie Dalin FRA ('macif') ! At full moon and editorial closing time (a little later today) Dalin was at the finish line - see the live broadcast above - with 64 days and 19 hours will improve the record of Armel Le Cléac'h by 10 days! Yoann Richomme FRA ('Paprec Arkea') is also expected in Les Sables d'Olonne from midday. Sébastien Simon FRA in 3rd place is still 823 miles behind this morning. A trio has broken away in the battle for 4th place: Jéremy Beyou FRA and Sam Goodchild GBR have been sailing aboard for days, with Paul Meilhat FRA following just 15 miles behind. 250 miles behind Meilhat, Justine Mettraux SUI has accelerated with a slightly more easterly course and has already overtaken Boris Herrmann GER. In 9th place, she is now only 10 miles behind Thomas Ruyant FRA! In the large chasing group in the South Atlantic, Romain Attanasio FRA was able to pull away around 100 miles in 14th place. He is followed in 15th place by Jean Le Cam FRA. Like Le Cam, Alan Roura SUI has also chosen a more easterly route and has thus already crossed the flat zone and accelerated again. Having dropped back to 19th place, he will move up again today. Great day for Oliver Heer SUI, who is about to round Cape Horn - in fresh winds! ----- The race tracker and the reports.
