While this edition will remain the one that broke all records, it will above all be remembered for the feat of a sailor who, in the shadows, faced much more than just the oceans. In his book (in French) La force du destin, available in bookshops today, Charlie shares the story of this extraordinary adventure and a universal message: believe in your dreams, even when everything seems impossible.
The Vendée Globe team salutes this testimony of courage with emotion and admiration and extends a special mention to Laure Jacolot, race doctor, for her professionalism and commitment alongside this great champion.
