This is the fourth edition of the race starting on 9 November 2000 from Les Sables-d'Olonne. Summary The departure originally planned for Sunday, November 5 but the decision was made to delay the postponed start till Thursday, 9 November 2000 a delay of 4 days due to bad weather. This race was the first major test of the new safety rules, introduced following the tragedies the previous races.November 2016 Overall, it was a success; although some boats were again forced to retire from the race, none were lost.November 2016 This race included the youngest-ever entrant, Ellen MacArthur, who at 24 years old competed in her custom-built boat Kingfisher. BBC Staff 9 February 2001 Vendee Globe: The Full Story [BBC Sport: Sailing] https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/in_depth/2001/vendee_globe/1162111.stm 13 November 2016 Yves Parlier was the first to establish a lead, and headlines were made by Dominique Wavre of Switzerland on 10 December 2000 when his 430 nautical miles broke the 24-hour record for distance sailed single-handed. Parlier was soon under attack by Michel Desjoyeaux, who then moved into the lead. Parlier dismasted while pushing to catch up and lost contact with race organizers, resulting in MacArthur being diverted to provide assistance. MacArthur resumed racing when contact with Parlier was restored, and managed to maintain fourth place. Desjoyeaux extended his lead to 600 mi km by Cape Horn, and MacArthur closed steadily, moving up to second place. By the mid-Atlantic she had caught up, and while negotiating the calms and variable winds of the Doldrums, the two traded the lead position several times. MacArthur's chance to win was lost when she struck a semi-submerged container and was forced to make repairs. Desjoyeaux and PRB, flying the French flag, went on to win the race in 93d 3h 57', with MacArthur and Kingfisher under the flag of Great Britain finishing second at 94d 4h 25', and Roland Jourdain and Sill Matines La potagère, also under the French flag, finishing third at 96d 1h 2'.November 2016 MacArthur pulled in to a rapturous reception, as "the youngest ever competitor to finish, the fastest woman around the planet — and only the second solo sailor to get around the globe in less than 100 days." Parlier, meanwhile, had anchored off New Zealand, and managed to fabricate by himself a new carbon-fibre mast from his broken one, and continuing racing, gained an official place.Clarey Christopher 16 March 2001 Despite Mishaps, French Sailor Is Near Finish in Vendee Globe Race: A Battered but Unbowed Arrival https://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/16/sports/despite-mishaps-french-sailor-is-near-finish-in-vendee-globe-race-a.html New York Times 8 December 2016 http://www.thmartinez.com/folio/339/yves-parlier-vendee-globe-exclusives-images.html Yves Parlier – Vendée Globe – Exclusive Images Martinez Thierry thmartinez.com 9 December 2016 Incidents Retirement causes Other incidents Results +Table: Order of Finish, 2000–2001 Vendée Globehttp://www.vendeeglobe.org/fr/historique Edition 2000/2001 : Le Globe Express Vendée Globe 8 December 2016 22 October 2004 https://web.archive.org/web/20041022155445/http://www.vendeeglobe.org/fr/historique frPosSailorYachtTimeNoteRef1Michel Desjoyeaux FRA PRB 293d 03h 57'(new record) 2Ellen MacArthur GBR Kingfisher94d 04h 25' 3Roland Jourdain FRA Sill Matines La potagère96d 01h 02' 4Marc Thiercelin FRA Active Wear102d 20h 37' 5Dominique Wavre SUI Union Bancaire Privée105d 02h 45' 6Thomas Coville FRA Sodébo105d 07h 24' 7Mike Golding GBR Team Group 4110d 16h 22' 8FRA SUI civil Bernard GallayVoilà.fr111d 16h 07' 9Josh Hall GBR Gartmore111d 19h 48' 10Joé Seeten FRA Chocolats du Monde115d 16h 46' 11Patrice Carpentier FRAVM Matériaux116d 00h 32' IMOCA 5012Simone Bianchetti ITAAquarelle.com121d 01h 28' 13Yves Parlier FRA Aquitaine Innovations126d 23h 36' https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/2561/Vendee-Globe-2000-Yves-Parlier-Dismasted Vendee Globe 2000 - Yves Parlier Dismasted14Didier Munduteguy FRA DDP / 60e Sud135d 15h 17' 15ITA Pasquale De GregorioWind Telecomunicazioni158d 02h 37' IMOCA 50http://www.pasqualedegregorio.com/Default.asp?Section=Open50 Pasquale De Gregorio www.pasqualedegregorio.comhttps://www.yachtingworld.com/news/last-vendee-boat-finishes-58657 Last Vendee boat finishes Yachting World April 18, 2001 Yachting WorldDid not finishDNFCatherine Chabaud FRA Whirlpool-Europe 2Dismasted DNFThierry Dubois FRA SolidairesElectronic problems DNFRaphaël Dinelli FRA Sogal ExtensoDamaged rudder DNFFyodor Konyukhov RUSModern University For The Humanitiesretired DNFJavier Sansó ESPOld Spiceretired DNFÉric Dumont FRA Euroka Servicesdamaged rudder DNFRichard Tolkien GBR This Time – Argos – Help For Autistic Childrenrig damage DNFBernard Stamm SUI Armor-Lux/foies Gras steering problem DNFPatrick de Radiguès BEL Libre Belgique beached (IMOCA 50)http://www.histoiredeshalfs.com/50%27%20monos/C29%20Lightning.htm Document sans titre Entries Participants gallery Participant facts equipment Twenty skippers started the race a qualification passage was required to validate the registration of each boat, this course could have been carried out as part of another sailing race. +List of participants and equipment used Skipper Prev. participation(Start/Finish) Name of boat Sail no.
