The record is currently held by Armel Le Cléac'h, winner of the 2016-2017 edition.
The Breton completed his circumnavigation in 74 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes and 46 seconds.
In 2016-17, Armel Le Cléac'h completed his solo, non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation in 74 days, 3 hours 35 minutes and 46 seconds,
at an average speed of 13.77 knots.
The departure will take place in November in Les Sables-d'Olonne in the Vendée (France), and the arrival will be in the same place.
Charles Dalin was the first to cross the finish line after 80 days, 6 hours and 15 minutes.
Yannick Bestaven came in less than 10 hours behind him and, with his bonuses, snatched the victory from him and won the Vendée Globe.
In fact, Bestaven was one of three sailors who veered off course to get closer to where Kevin Escoffier was shipwrecked in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The International Jury awarded all three with bonuses: 16 hours and 15 minutes for Jean Le Cam, 10 hours and 15 minutes for Yannick Bestaven and 6 hours for Boris Herrmann.
