by Shrivathsa Sridhar (Reuters) – Frenchman Yannick Bestaven was declared the winner of the Vendee Globe round-the-world sailing race early last week after he was handed a time bonus of over 10 hours for his role in rescuing a fellow competitor.
The 48-year-old aboard ‘Maitre CoQ IV’ finished with a time of 80 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes and 46 seconds, crossing the line after compatriots Charlie Dalin and Louis Burton at Les Sables d’Olonne, France.
However, a time compensation of 10 hours and 15 minutes for his role in the rescue of Frenchman Kevin Escoffier – whose boat sank during the race – meant Bestaven finished with a better time than Dalin and Burton, who finished second and third.
