Jan20A sad end for BT and Seb in the Vendee Globe

It’s now just over two weeks since Sébastion Josse sailed the BT IMOCA 60 into Auckland harbour bringing to a close the final chapter of his valiant attempt to win the 2008/09 Vendée Globe race. The ending was nothing short of devastating but some consolation can be had from the fact that Sébastien spent 50 days racing with the leading pack proving that both himself and the boat were hugely competitive.
The massive capsize in 60-knot winds and furious seas on Boxing Day caused terminal damage to the rudder system that could not be repaired at sea. Sébastien’s tactical and competitive race that saw him take the lead no less than seven times, also caught the attention of the watching media and garnered a huge swell of support from his sponsors employees. Here at OC Group – Race HQ, we enthusiastically tracked his every move and shared equally in his disappointment.
