Miranda Merron (Campagne de France) 22nd in the Vendee Globe

Miranda Merron (Campagne de France) 22nd in the Vendee Globe by Vendée Globe 18 Feb 06:07 UTC 17 February 2021 With her usual quiet, understated efficiency British skipper Miranda Merron completed the Vendée Globe solo round the world race quest this Wednesday night, breaking the finish line off Les Sables d Olonne, France at 22:16:51hrs UTC after 101 days 8hrs 56mins 51secs at sea to take 22nd place in the race on her IMOCA 60 Campagne de France. She finishes 21d 5hrs 12mins after winner Yannick Bestaven and 1d 12hrs 48mins after 21st placed French skipper Clement Giraud. Her result is highly commendable and fulfils the simple target she set herself, to finish the course bringing her boat and herself back to Les Sables d Olonne in good shape, having fully embraced and enjoyed all of the challenges that came her way on a race she considered she was peaking for at just the right time for me , 51 years old.

Vendée Globe Day 85: Who s next?

Sunday has scarcely been a day of rest on the VendÃ©e 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 VendÃ©e 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 VendÃ©e 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.

Vendée Globe Day 82: Multiple Blessings, All Winners

There are two winners in this VendÃ©e Globe smiled Yannick Bestaven sportingly as he warmly greeted Charlie Dalin, the French skipper who hours earlier had broken the finish line of the solo round the world race in first place. Granted a 10 hrs 15 mins time allowance for his role in the search and rescue of Kevin Escoffier, Bestaven displaced the pre-race favourite Dalin to win the VendÃ©e Globe by 2hrs 31secs, the narrowest margin ever in the history of the race, earned by the oldest ever winner. I am happy to have finished the race in the lead. The English talk about Line Honours and I am happy with that. Dalin, 36, said in his press conference. What I m going to remember is that I was first over the line - no one can take it away from me. It s normal for boats that stop to help others to have time compensation and that s out of my control. But whatever the outcome I m here in front of you now and I m happy that I ve done a good job.
