Vendée Globe:  Adventure, Simple and level

Vendée Globe is absolutely simple. Their fundamental principles are simple: A race to candle around the world without scales for alone and very brave navigators. That is everything.

From 1989 the respect of the entire world has gained to pulse. It was born 15 years ago of the imagination from a winning sailor of the return to the world in two occasions. The French Philippe Jeantot prevailed consecutive the VOICE Challenge twice - race alone around the world with scales After these victories tries to force a little plus the challenge, devising a return to the world without scales, alone and without attendance. During the first edition the participants did not imagine the shortages that this challenge would suppose. No of the 13 participants of that first edition had experience than it supposes a trip of more alone than 100 days.

A trip in which to conquer the three ends: the African of Good Hope, the most southern end of the Australian continent, the Cabo Leewen, and feared the Cape Horn in Suramérica.

The race takes place without scales and no type of attendance, therefore the participants cannot receive rutados weather messages with customized information from a earth equipment, cannot receive any type of advice, not even can put themselves in contact with any doctor who could advise to them like improving his physical yield. The organization only allows under supervision, the telephone aid in case of failure of the boat or disease.
