Michel Desjoyeaux on his 60 foot monohull FONCIA crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe 2008/2009 this Sunday 1st February 2009 at 15h11’08’’ UT. FONCIA’s race time is 84 days, 03 hours, 09 minutes and 08 seconds. He covered the 24,840 theoretical miles (46,003.68 km) of this course, single-handed and without assistance, at the average speed of 12.30 knots.
As such he has beaten the previous record set in 2004 (Vincent Riou on PRB of 87d 10h 47m) by 3 days 07 hours and 39 minutes. It is worth remembering that Michel Desjoyeaux:
- had a deficit of 41 hours on the head of the fleet when he set out from Les Sables d’Olonne a second time on Tuesday 11th November,
- had a total deficit of 670.3 miles on Saturday 15th November behind the leader,
- covered 1,160 additional miles along the theoretical course in the Southern Ocean given the N’ly position of the obligatory ice gates along the route.
