Race HQ anchored in the Vendée Globe square
Port OlonaAfter having been based in Paris Montparnasse and in Les Sables d'Olonne since the creation of the Vendée Globe, Race HQ is now, for the first time in its history, 100% located in the eponymous square and welcomes every day the people of Les Sablais, visitors passing through and all those curious who want to get as close as possible to the life of the skippers at sea. In the presence of the race director, the doctors and members of the organising team, you can experience the shifts live: at the initiative of the skippers or the organising team, these are the only times that are allowed during the race, to give your exact position, take news, report incidents or more serious problems, which require a competitor to be rerouted or a search to be launched. These are exhilarating moments, in osmosis with the sailor and his state of mind at the time, with emotion or humour, with the talkative or the quiet, with the creaking of the boat and the gusts in the background, it's almost there!
