Vendée Globe
The Vendée Globe is a round-the-world single-handed yacht race, sailed non-stop and without assistance.〔(Vendée Globe ), the official web site (English version)〕 The race was founded by Philippe Jeantot in 1989,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vendee Globe 2012–13: Francois Gabart breaks solo record )〕 and since 1992 has taken place every four years. The 2016–2017 edition is planned to start on Sunday, 6 November 2016.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=30 skippers for the next Vendee Globe? )〕
As the only single-handed non-stop round-the-world race (in contrast to the VELUX 5 Oceans Race, which is sailed in stages), the race is a serious test of individual endurance, and is regarded by many as the ultimate in ocean racing.
== History ==
The race was founded in 1989 by French yachtsman Philippe Jeantot. Jeantot had competed in the BOC Challenge (now the VELUX 5 Oceans Race) in 1982–83 and 1986–87, winning both times. Dissatisfied with the race's format, he decided to set up a new round-the-world non-stop race, which he felt would be the ultimate challenge for single-handed sailors.〔(Introduction ), from the official web site〕
The first edition of the race was run in 1989–90, and was won by Titouan Lamazou; Jeantot himself took part, and placed fourth.〔(1989/1990 Edition: A great race is born ), from the official web site〕 The next edition of the race was in 1992–93; and it has since then been run every four years.
