Vendée Globe

It was at 02 hours 34 minutes and 24 seconds GMT this Sunday 20th February 2005 that the 60-foot monohull Hellomoto skippered by Conrad Humphreys crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe 2004, a single-handed race, without stopovers and without assistance departing and finishing in Les Sables d’Olonne (France).

Just 30 miles behind the British skipper, Joe Seeten chose to wait until later in the morning for his passage of the line, so as to give his vast crowd of fans the chance to arrive on zone. He finally crossed the finish line of the Vendee Globe at 11 hours 04 minutes and 45 seconds GMT this Sunday 20th February 2005 aboard 60 foot monohull Arcelor Dunkerque.

The race time to make the 23 680 miles is 104 days 23 hours and 02 minutes and 45 seconds at an average theoretical speed across the course of 9.40 knots.
