Should we be worried about Destremau, alone in the Pacific?

Vendée Globe: Should we be worried about Destremau, alone in the Pacific?

-

Sébastien Destremau is giving us the red light of the Vendée Globe again.

The skipper lost at sea on his boat Merci is not at the end of his troubles.

It has just passed New Zealand and will switch, after having crossed one or two islands on its way, in the road which will lead it towards the point Nemo.

All with a poorly prepared machine that links damage to damage.

The latest?

A crack in the front of his boat.

"I really have the impression that the bowsprit is broken and separates from the boat," he explained a few days earlier, while ruling out the scenario of a dismasting to come.

It prevents.

Is it really reasonable to fall into the vastest ocean in the most total solitude (the penultimate, Ari Huusela, is 1,600 miles ahead of him)?

This is our question of the week in the Vendée Globe.
