The Vendee Globe is the big Adventure for Professionals, for Amateurs it is the Transquadra.
Look at these guys:
Transquadra 2011
And on this movie from the first leg, France to Madeira, we can appreciate the joy of sailing a light and fast boat day after day on the blue ocean. These guys are having a lot of fun and are really making me envious. I am the only one?
They are on the second leg now, between Madeira and Martinique on their JPK 110, running in 4th and with a good possibility of conquering a podium. Good luck to them
