24 hours onboard BT
with Sébastien Josse
"I spend most of my time in the cockpit, which amounts to roughly 10 hours out of 24 (...) I practice manoeuvring at night prior to the races because it is more stressful than in broad daylight, as you have to rely on your routine rather than on what you see."
My Vendee Globe
by Ellen MacArthur
"It's incredible to realise how far you can push yourself just by digging into your inner resources, and somehow I feel it's a great chance for me to have learnt how to dig deeper, to go closer to the limits. The Vendee Globe teaches you just that, and it's something that people rarely experience in modern life."
