Les Sables d’Olonne

Heading North

On June 7th, skippers leave Les Sables-d'Olonne for one of the most demanding adventures in offshore racing: reaching the Arctic Circle, solo, non-stop and unassisted, by the route of their choice.

A Vendée Globe partner for over 20 years, BENETEAU is proud to support this exceptional race that sets the course for the next round-the-world challenge in 2028.
