Vendée-Arctique

Skippers are getting ready for the 2022 edition of the Vendée Arctique: the solo race that surrounds Iceland before returning back to Les Sables d'Olonne. Jérémie Beyou became the winner of the 2020 edition of this arduous competition, but seeing the trajectory of Charlie Dalin and Thomas Ruyant, competition is closest than ever. Unpredictability in weather forecasts will force organizers to cut the race short, meaning skippers are running out of time to reduce distances.
