The Vendée Globe is a non-stop solo Round the World Yacht Race for IMOCA 50 and IMOCA 60 class yachts this is the 2nd edition of the race starting on the 22nd November 1992 from Les Sables-d'Olonne.
Summary[]
The second race attracted a great deal of media coverage.[citation needed] American Mike Plant, one of the entrants in the first Vendée race, was lost at sea on the way to the race, his boat found capsized near the Azores.[1]
The race set off into extremely bad weather in the Bay of Biscay, and several racers returned to the start to make repairs before setting off again (the only stopover allowed by the rules).[citation needed] Four days after the start, British sailor Nigel Burgess was found drowned off Cape Finisterre, having presumably fallen overboard.[citation needed] Alain Gautier and Bertrand de Broc led the race down the Atlantic; however, keel problems forced de Broc to abandon in New Zealand.[citation needed] Gautier continued with Philippe Poupon close behind, but a dismasting close to the finish held Poupon back, allowing Jean-Luc Van Den Heede to take second place.[2] Nándor Fa became the first non French national to finish the race.
