Damien Seguin crossed the finish line of his second consecutive Vendée Globe, in 15th position.
At 45, the disabled skipper succeeded in his bet to continue sailing at the highest level, even if, by his own admission, this second round the world race was “a battle against himself”.
Like a true champion he fought hard until the end, under pressure he held on to his 15th place as three rivals pressed hard only a few miles behind as he approached the line on a cold Monday morning.
