Italy’s Giancarlo Pedote completed his second consecutive Vendée Globe at 08:34hrs Tuesday 4 February.
Pedote crossed the finish line off Les Sables d’Olonne in 22nd place. His elapsed time was 85 days, 20 hours and 32 minutes.
There is now a short break before Guirec Soudée (Freelance.com) with 700nm to sail, is expected to finish Friday 7 February.
He will lead home a group of three: Kojiro Shiraishi (DMG Mori Global One), Violette Dorange (Devenir) and Louis Duc (Fives Group – Lantana Environnement) expected to finish Sunday 9 February.
That will leave seven sailors still racing with the fleet tailender Denis Van Weynbergh (D’Ieteren Group) in 33rd, and 4764nm to sail to reach the finish in Les Sables d’Olonne, with an ETA between 27 and 28 February 2025.
To date seven competitors have retired.
