La benjamine de la 10e édition de ce tour du monde en solitaire, sans escale et sans assistance, a été victime d’une avarie dimanche. La journée a aussi été marquée par un sixième abandon, portant à 34 le nombre de concurrents encore en course.
This article discusses two setbacks during the Vendée Globe race:
Violette Dorange: The youngest competitor experienced a major problem when her J3 (a small storm jib) fell overboard. While she was able to retrieve it, she also broke the storage hatch for the sail, leaving her without a crucial sail for strong winds. This puts her at a disadvantage as she continues the race.
Eric Bellion: While Eric Bellion had recently repaired damage to a crucial cable on his boat, he chose to abandon the race due to the onset of strong winds that threatened his safety.
Both incidents highlight the challenging and unpredictable nature of the Vendée Globe, a grueling solo race around the world.
