Godforsaken Sea: Racing The World's Most Dangerous Waters

The Vendee Globe could be described as a single handed around the world sailboat race. But this would not do it justice. The skippers sail from Les Sables-d'Olonne, France and circle the earth without any stops or outside assistance. During the circumvention they traverse the southern ocean: well known for its bad weather, dangerous waves, ice bergs, and the incredible distance their vessel will be from rescue. The skippers not only have to sail and repair a large sailboat without assistance but they are required to do so with amazingly little sleep.
