IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2024 - Les Sables d'Olonne FRA - Day 111

Manuel Cousin FRA (Coup de Pouce), who finished his Vendée Globe yesterday in 31st place, also received a big welcome in Les Sables - see video. Fabrice Amedeo FRA (Nexan-Wewise) is now expected to finish in 32nd place on Monday, he was still 330 miles short this morning. Denis Van Weynbergh BEL (D'Iteren Group), 33rd and last, is unlikely to make it to the finish before the time limit expires next Friday, unless the race organisers change their regulations. After breaking the main halyard, the Belgian will have to sail the last 629 miles against easterly winds with only a headsail. The race tracker and the reports.
