Sunday, July 15 Alessandro Di Benedetto aboard his IMOCA 60 has reached Sables d’Olonne.
In solitaire, respecting accurate waypoints, Alexander sailed without a care in the Northern Hemisphere thus obtaining the qualification for the next edition of the Vendée Globe.
The navigation has reached the West of Ireland, Eastern Canada and then crossing to longitude 50 ° West to adorn its port – Port Olona – in less than 19 days.
This qualification is also an opportunity for Di Benedetto to identify strengths and weaknesses of his sailboat.
“I’m quite happy with my navigation, it was a real discovery of the boat and a very good workout. I could not try all the sails, but the overall impression is good. On board, as well as refine the maneuvers, I took notes on everything that we need to change or develop in the coming weeks “
