Jean would lead the race on nine occasions early in the race. He believed in his boat in spite of the fact that she was built in 2007 and very few people chose her as one of their favourites for the race.Īnd yet, on the day after the start, Yes We Cam! led the fleet. The skipper had already said his goodbyes to his family when he went down alone to the pontoon on the day of the start, as if he was in a hurry to set sail, after spending so many months preparing the boat in a shed in Port-la-Forêt. It is a remarkable achievement, reflecting a very smooth and accomplished route all the way around the world on his 2007 Farr design which originally won the 2008 race in the hands of Michel Desjoyeaux. But as I say if I say too much about it only makes me chuckle."Īfter his second place behind Vincent Riou in 2004-5 this is Le Cam’s second best result on the Vendée Globe and – ironically – improves on his sixth in the last edition on the same boat. I am happy because we have seen budgets going up and up and so this is a real victory. I went from here to here. I have had testimonials from young people in this regard. But sailing is not an exact science! For me the single most important thing is that I gave the younger generations the idea that they could do the Vendée Globe with limited means. These foiling boats are a lot of puzzles for not much! Like computing software. I had never imagined that! I was happy to be have been ahead of Groupe APICIL, that was the challenge between boats with straight daggerboards. This morning Anne (editor's note Anne Combier, team manager) told me that I could get still ahead of Boris Herrmann. I did it but with everything that happened. Besides, apparently I'm 4th! It's been two days that I have been pushing just to not to miss the tide. But it's done! This is a deliverance certainly. I don't know how I got here, honestly I don't know. "This is a finish line like I've never passed in my life. Without doubt Le Cam is the popular hero of this Vendee Globe after rescuing Kevin Escoffier on 1st December when the PRB skipper was forced to take to his liferaft. He now displaces Boris Herrmann to fifth. Racing on his fifth Vendée Globe, 61 year old Le Cam is actually only 10hrs and 09s behind the winning time of Yannick Bestaven.
