Fellow competitor Vincent Riou diverted and found his boat, circling to try to toss a rope to Le Cam who had exited a security hatch to hang onto the rudder. After three failed attempts, Vincent Riou went in closer, managing to rescue Jean Le Cam but also damaging his mast which failed soon after. Riou retired, but was awarded third place on redress, as he was third when diverted to assist the boat in distress.Agence France-Presse 13 January 2009 Competitor Wins Appeal https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/sports/othersports/13sportsbriefs-COMPETITORWI_BRF.html New York Times 8 December 2016 Agence France-Presse In addition Armel Le Cléac’h was awarded 11 hours, Sam Davies 32 hours and Marc Guillemot 82 hours for diverting to aid in the rescuehttps://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/news/659/a-look-back-at-the-2008-2009-vendee-globe A look back at the 2008–2009 Vendée Globe 2009-03-16 2021-01-29 Results +Table: Order of finish, 2008–2009 Vendée Globehttp://vendeeglobe.org/en/ranking.html Vendée Globe Ranking Vendée Globe 8 December 2016 16 March 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090316034106/http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/ranking.htmlPos.SailorYachtTimeDistanceSailedRef 1 Michel Desjoyeaux FRA Foncia 84d 03h 09' 08" (new record) 28 303 2 Armel Le Cléac'h FRA Brit Air 89d 09h 39' 35" Corrected89d 20h 39' 35" Elapsed 27 232 =3 Vincent Riou FRA PRB 3 Day 59: Dismasted Redress Given =3 Marc Guillemot FRA Safran (2) 95d 03h 19' 36" Corrected98d 13h 19' 36" Elapsed 28 401 4 Samantha Davies GBR Roxy (2) 95d 04h 39' 01" Corrected96d 12h 39' 01" Elapsed 27 470 5 Brian Thompson GBR Bahrain Team Pindar98d 20h 29' 55" 28 699 6 Dee Caffari GBR Aviva99d 01h 10' 57" 27 906 7 Arnaud Boissières FRA Akena Vérandas (2)105d 02h 33' 50" 27 841 8 Steve White GBR Toe In The Water109d 00h 36' 55" 28 197 9 Rich Wilson USA Great American III121d 00h 41' 19" 28 590 10 Raphaël Dinelli FRA Fondation Ocean Vital 125d 02h 32' 24" 28 140 11 Norbert Sedlacek AUT Nauticsport-Kapsch 126d 05h 31' 56" 27 706 DNF(18) Roland Jourdain FRA Veolia Environnementday 85: lost keelhttps://www.yachtingmonthly.com/news/keel-bulb-loss-for-jourdain-13437 Keel bulb loss for Jourdain 30 January 2009 DNF(17) Jean Le Cam FRA VM Matériaux (2)day 58: lost keel bulb, capsized DNF(16) Jonny Malbon GBR Artemis (2)day 56: delaminated mainsail DNF(15) Jean-Pierre Dick FRA Paprec-Virbac (2)day 53: lost port rudder DNF(14) Derek Hatfield CAN Algimouss Spirit of Canadaday 50: broken spreaders DNF(13) Sébastien Josse FRA BTday 50: broken rudder system DNF(12) Yann Eliès FRA Generaliday 40: fractured femur DNF(11) Mike Golding GBR Ecover 3day 38: dismasted https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/7785426.stm 'Gutted' Golding abandons Vendee 2008-12-16 2021-02-26 DNF(10) Jean-Baptiste Dejeanty FRA Groupe Maisonneuveday 37: faulty halyards, broken auto-pilot DNF(9) Loïck Peyron FRA Gitana Eightyday 36: dismastedhttp://www.gitana-team.com/en/actu/629/the_dream_is_over_for_loick_peyron_gitana_eighty_has_dismasted_in_the_indian_ocean The dream is over for Loïck Peyron, Gitana Eighty has dismasted in the Indian Ocean DNF(8) Bernard Stamm FRA Cheminées Poujoulat (3)day 36: ran agroundhttps://www.yachtingworld.com/news/vendee-globe-stamm-runs-aground-10605 Vendeé Globe: Stamm runs aground 15 December 2008 DNF(7) Dominique Wavre SUI Temenos 2day 35: damaged keel box DNF(6) Unai Basurko ESP Pakea Bizkaiaday 28: faulty starboard rudder box DNF(5) Jérémie Beyou FRA Delta Doreday 17: damaged rig DNF(4) Alex Thomson GBR Hugo Boss 2day 6: cracked hull DNF(3) Yannick Bestaven FRA Aquarelle.com – Charente Maritimeday 4: dismasted DNF(2) Marc Thiercelin FRA DCNSday 4: dismastedhttps://www.imoca.org/en/boats/groupe-apicil Groupe Apicil 2021-03-17 2021-02-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20210228001658/https://www.imoca.org/en/boats/groupe-apicil dead DNF(1) Kito de Pavant FRA Groupe Belday 2: dismasted https://www.vendeeglobe.org/fr/actualites/1172/groupe-bel-has-dismasted Actualités – Groupe Bel has dismasted – Vendée Globe Gallery Entries Participants gallery Participant facts equipment Thirty 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.
