Justine Mettraux finishing the Vendée Globe today- in distinctive style. 8th overall, 1st non-French, first with a previous gen boat, first woman, fastest solo woman around the planet ever.

And that's before we found out all the bits that had broken on her boat along the way ... https://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/article/justine-mettraux-8th-first-international-first-woman #vg2024 #sailing

Justine Mettraux, 8th, first international, first woman | Vendée Globe 2024

Swiss skipper Justine Mettraux crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe this Saturday at 1338 hrs (UTC) to secure eighth place in a time of 76 days, 01 hour, 36 minutes, 52 seconds. She is the first female to finish and the top international skipper to finish. Showing her tenacity and coolness under pressure she only just managed to hold off the fast advancing Sam Goodchild after she tore her mainsail during her final night at sea. Deeply reefed she could only make a handful of knots but managed to slide across the finish line to secure her eighth with the British skipper only six miles behind her.
