IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2024 - Les Sables d'Olonne FRA - Day 79

After Benjamin Dutreux FRA (Guyot Environnement) on Sunday, Clarisse Cremer FRA (L'occitane) reached the finish line off les Sables d'Olonne early yesterday morning in a storm - all alone, the rough conditions did not allow a big reception on the water. Like Dutreux, she took refuge in La Rochelle - the report. Today it remains calm in Les Sables d'Olonne, Boris Herrmann GER is next expected at the finish on Wednesday: 444 miles from the finish a rough crossing of the Bay of Biscay at 40kn+ awaits him. Samantha Davis GBR - 83 miles behind - will accompany him through the storm. The chasing group of ranks 15-22 has moved closer together: only 60 miles separate Gian-Carlo Pedote ITA (15th) from Jean Le Cam FRA (22nd). Only 40 miles behind Pedote,Alan Roura SUI can still make up a few places to the finish in 21st place. Oliver Heer SUI recorded yesterdays video report high up in the mast. In 30th place, he is still accompanied by Jingkun Xu CHN (100 miles behind). The race tracker and the reports.
