Promoting Innovation

The Vendee Globe aims to promote innovation. From the 13 new boats selected systematically, the other projects were decided by the number of miles traveled in races since the Transat Jacques Vabre 2021.

40th Place Invitation

It remained to choose between three projects to award the 40th place. The invitation was awarded by the organization to Oliver Heer, who had traveled the furthest miles among these three projects.

Award Decision Process

The selection process was not easy for Alan Ladmiral, President of the Department of Voile and the Vendee Globe. After consulting various people, including the president of the Ocean Race class and his race director, he decided to select the participants in order of classification by miles and to respect the law of sport.
