Congratulations to Conrad Colman on completing the Vendée Globe 2024-2025!
At 05:06 on Tuesday morning after 85d 16h 4m 33s of racing, Conrad Colman crossed the finish line of the 2024-25 Vendée Globe!! Completing his second global circumnavigation without burning any fossil fuels.
His first words after reaching Les Sables-d’Olonne:
“RELIEF, that’s the word. It feels so good to have finished! I’ve been tense over the past few days and right up to the last mile of the race, being neck and neck with Jean Le Cam.
I’m relieved to have brought my IMOCA back to Les Sables d’Olonne in the same condition as on the 10th November. I’m also very proud of the technical mastery of my boat and the emotional mastery of the sailor.
I’ve grown up since my first Vendée Globe and I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made!”
