Charlie Dalin Sets New Record to Win 10th Vendée Globe

The French skipper completed the solo, non-stop around-the-world race in 64 days, beating the previous record by over nine days.

Charlie Dalin, sailing the Imoca yacht 'Macif-Santé-Prévoyance,' finished the Vendée Globe in 64 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes, and 49 seconds, breaking the previous record set in 2017.
Dalin maintained his lead for 42 days of the race and secured victory after a strategic battle with Yoann Richomme during the Atlantic ascent.
Yoann Richomme finished second, 22 hours behind Dalin, marking an impressive debut performance in his first Vendée Globe participation.
Dalin's victory solidifies his status as one of the leading figures in competitive sailing, with potential opportunities in higher-profile multihull categories being speculated by experts.
The Vendée Globe remains one of the most grueling sailing events, with skippers facing extreme physical and mental challenges throughout the solo, non-stop, and unassisted race.
