Vendée Globe Day 86 morning update: Armel Tripon finishes 11th

Armel Tripon finishes 11th in the Vendée Globe © Alexander Champy-McLean This Monday 1st February at six hours, 27 minutes and 50 seconds (UTC) Armel Tripon crossed the finish line of the ninth edition of the Vendée Globe off Les Sables d Olonne after 84 days, 17 hours, 07 minutes and 50 seconds to finish in 11th place. Considering that his progressive Sam Manuard designed scow-bowed L Occitane en Provence was only first launched one year ago (yesterday) and the Nantes skipper started his first Vendée Globe with the highly fancied but untested boat not having completed a significant offshore race, Tripon s achievement displays a high level of physical and mental stamina and excellent seamanship.

Vendée Globe Day 85: Who s next?

Sunday has scarcely been a day of rest on the Vendée Globe even if it is the first day since last Tuesday that Les Sables d Olonne has not welcomed a finisher across the line and into the famous channel. Preparations have been in full swing for the arrival of the Armel Tripon (L Occitaine en Provence) who is due early Monday morning and should take 11th position. But not for the first time in the history of the Vendée Globe will a skipper s last 24 hours be possibly the toughest of his race. This is especially true for the forty-five-year-old skipper from Nantes who at times was blessed with some very straightforward routing in the south. Tripon will come in the heels of a depression which is expected to have gusts of 45 knots and bring 5 to 6m waves on the finish line.

Vendée Globe Day 84: 24/8!

Bringing the ninth edition of the Vendée Globe to an incredible crescendo eight competitors arrived back in Les Sables d Olonne within 23 hours and 44 minutes. With a record entry of 33 boats and an atypical sequence of weather systems which meant the top 10 or 12 boats regrouped and re-started on three main occasions, the race went down to the wire with five boats pitching for the podium places at 36 hours from the finish. Three skippers carried time compensations, Boris Herrmaann, Yannick Bestaven and Jean Le Cam. And it was only on Thursday evening when Le Cam finished that the final rankings were settled. Bestaven with his 10hrs 15mins of allotted time won, Dalin - who crossed the line first was second and Louis Burton third and behind them - finishing over the next 48 hours great sailors without whom the race would not have been so enthralling.
