You either win or finish the Vendée Globe, the rest is literature.
I’m convinced that it’s too late to talk, the important thing is to act.
Follow Sébastien Destremau in a committed Vendée Globe to thank the ocean with PURE OCEAN
The Vendée Globe: non-stop, non-assisted, single-handed round-the-world race
3 months sailing
24,000 nautical miles
3 oceans
3 mythical capes
Over the course of three months, participants have to negotiate unavoidable milestones, such as the three capes: Good Hope (South Africa), Leeuwin (Australia) and Horn (Chile). Departing from the Port of Les Sables d’Olonne, the skippers set off on their journey: down the Atlantic, around the Cape of Good Hope, across the Indian Ocean and the Pacific before reaching Cape Horn. Then it’s back up the Atlantic along Latin America before returning to Les Sables d’Olonne. The Vendée Globe course represents just over 24,000 nautical miles, or more than 40,000 kilometers.
Sébastien Destremau is one of 33 skippers taking part in this fabulous adventure. Instead of a frantic quest for speed, his round-the-world voyage on his sailboat Merci is all about gratitude. But it’s also a race against the climate emergency and the destruction of biodiversity. Sébastien wanted to say thank you to the Ocean and get involved in its preservation.
For this Vendée Globe 2020, Sébastien is working alongside PURE OCEAN and raising funds to finance research and innovation to protect the Ocean, because it’s urgent to act and get involved.
