The Vendee Globe
“I can’t go on, I’m abandoning this my second Vendée Globe” grimaced an emotional French Vendée Globe skipper Maxime Sorel early this Friday afternoon from Madeira.
The 38 yr previous skipper of V and B – Monbana – Mayenne, who scored a courageous, achieved tenth on the 2020-2021 race, finishing the racing circumnavigation with a beforehand unloved, unfortunate boat which since 2008 had by no means completed the Vendée Globe, is, sadly, the primary skipper to desert the tenth version of the race.
He has been compelled out by a mixture of a foul ankle harm and injury to his mainsail hook system and his mainsail automobile. He’ll head ashore in Madeira instantly to have his ankle X-rayed. More here.
