While Benjamin Dutreux crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe 2024-2025 today, with Clarisse Crémer soon to follow, both skippers will head to La Rochelle for shelter, as a violent storm sweeping through Les Sables d’Olonne prevents them from entering the channel. Meanwhile, Boris Herrmann is pushing to complete the race as quickly as possible, but the Bay of Biscay’s treacherous storms, 8-metre waves, and unpredictable weather make this final stretch exceptionally challenging and uncertain.
