Vendée Globe - The crazy night of 27 ! 

Yannick Bestaven is the name of the winner who did not arrive first at the finish line ! The end of this crazy Imoca race came to an end and it's the only time the first to make landfall is not the winner. Bestaven (Maître Coq) won the ninth edition of the Vendée Globe as Charlie Dalin with his sailboat Apivia crossed the finish line first on Wednesday. Bestaven came third behind Charlie Dalin and Louis Burton (Bureau Vallée) but is crowned thanks to the bonus for the rescue of Kévin Escoffier on November 30. Thomas Ruyant, Damien Seguin, Giancarlo Pedote, Boris Herrmann and Jean Le Cam (the King) followed this Thursday. Herrmann (Seaexplorer - Yacht Club de Monaco) could claim the final victory thanks to the hourly compensation of six hours, collided with a trawler at 8:50 pm, just before the arrival at Sables-d'Olonne. King Jean thus completes his fourth round-the-world tour and with his bonus of 16 hours and 15 minutes, the skipper of Yes We Cam climbs to 4th place in the general classification.
