The Vendèe Globe, the round-the-world no stop no assistance single-handed yacht race that for its difficulty and risks has been nicknamed "The Everest of sailing" has started yesterday from Les Sables d'Olonne. The weather conditions were very bad, as a little taste of what the 30 sailors will face in the next months.
