Why Was Charlie Dalin So Quick? - Vendée Globe Week 10 - 15-1-25

Charlie Dalin didn’t just win the Vendee Globe he smashed it out of the park, destroyed the record and sailed a near flawless race. Taking more than 9 days off the previous record is staggering. This was a triumph from a personal point too and this was a performance that came down to his considerable experience and his meticulous preparations around an advanced and sophisticated boat. He was pushed hard by Yoann Richomme the whole way round and crossed the line just under a day later in second. Richomme's first lap of the planet was played out at an incredible pace. But what made Charlie Dalin and his record breaking IMOCA Macif Santé Prévoyance so quick? Matt Sheahan takes a look at both of these extraordinary sailors as well taking a look at Dalin, the man and his machine.
