With the world experiencing lockdown, 33 skippers took to the oceans to compete in the toughest adventure offshore racing has to offer - the Vendée Globe.. VRsportTV has covered all of the action from start to finish with 80 episodes, triumph to tragedy, elation to soul searching - this race had ...

33 boats, 25 finishers and they're all safely home! Congratulations to Alexia Barrier and Ari Huusela for bringing the official Vendée Globe 2020/21 to a wonderful conclusion. Also, Sam Davies and Isabelle Joschke completed their own circumnavigation of the world with a special heart to finish! F...

Most of the intrepid sailors are back ashore but let's not forget the tailenders! They have raced around the globe single handed, through every type of condition the sea could throw at them and most have survived. Costa, Giraud, Merron and Cousin have succeeded where may have failed. Footage ©Ven...

Rolling, rolling, rolling into the finish line for five other Vendée Globe skippers. Arnaud, Kojiro, Alan, Stephane and Pip arrive all within 24 hours of each other after a mid fleet battle royal! Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Production

Jérémie Beyou and Romain Attanasio are the latest skippers to finish today and the fans showed their appreciation of their endeavours over the 90 days at sea. It looks like a mighty battle mid fleet with five boats lining up to all finish next Wednesday - Kojiro Shiraishi is leading but Pip Hare ...

13th placed, Jérémie Beyou, will be one of the most anticipated and celebrated finishes in VG history. One of the hot favourites for the overall win, he was forced to turn back 600 miles after the start due to severe damage to his rudder. He restarted 9 days later.. Plus Clarisse's celebrations c...

Here Comes The Girls! Clarisse Cremer smashes the 21 year monohull solo non stop record for a female skipper and finishes 12th overall out of a fleet of 33 starters. She took the title in her stride and pushed the equality in the male dominated sport further into balance. Plus all of the finisher...

The unconventional hero, Jean Le Cam, finished his fifth Vendée Globe in 4th overall after his time redress. A massive achievement when he was racing a 14 year old IMOCA 60 and he led for a day and a half, rescued Kevin Escoffier and chatted to his President. A true wandering star amongst all ski...

The Magnificent Seven Arrive Home (plus one). Monster programme of all the finishers. If Hollywood wrote a script for a film of 80 days of human endeavour against the elements even they wouldn't believe it! What an epic journey around the globe. As predicted yesterday, Yannick Bestaven has taken ...

One of the iconic races on the planet attracting many of the top names (boat and sailor) for the dash across to Ireland and now back to Cherbourg. The Ultime trimaran foilers are leading the charge with the big monohull Maxis, Vendée Globe IMOCAs and the rest of the 337 fleet. The shackles have b...

It's official - Line Honours for Charlie Dalin - 80 days 6 hours, 15 minutes and 47 seconds but will it be enough to secure the Vendée Globe Trophy? What a finish tonight and tomorrow morning is turning out to be - hot favourite is now Yannick Bestaven with his 10 hour 15 minute time redress - on...

Ladies and Gentlemen - Final Bets Please! The gunslingers have gone all in and what cards are they holding? Ruyant and Bestaven have upped the ante by going North joined by Burton - have they got aces up their sleeves with the bigger SW breeze? Two strategies - who's holding and who's bluffing? F...

And then there were three! 'The Inseparables' was the name for the three Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis or in the modern era - Charlie, Louis and Boris. It's time for one of them to shut the rest down! Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Production

Leader Update: The Magnificent Seven have started to gybe north for the bigger breeze - the early gunslingers are Yannick, Damien and Giancarlo. Times allowances at the finish for Yannick, Boris and Jean will be contentious for many fans as it looks likely to play a major part in the podium.. Foo...

Louis Burton is piling on the pressure to loop over the fleet and is expected to be in the lead shortly. With only 1700nm to the finish it's anyone's guess who is going to win the most coveted trophy in offshore racing..Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Production

Herrmann has moved up to second on the leader board with Dalin still heading the fleet. But off to the left is Burton steaming up to hit the low pressure in the North Atlantic first.

The Split - Speed or VMG.. Burton may be 4th on the leader board but he's pushing hard to reach the North Atlantic breeze to bring him home. Dalin is trying to cut the corner as tight as he can with the hole stretching across from Cape Verde. Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Production

Bruised and battered after over 70 days at sea, the VG skippers and their boats now have to squeeze every little bit out of themselves and their racing machines. It feels like a Transatlantic sprint, not the last few days of a marathon around the world! Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Productio...

Louis Burton has taken the lead which is a phenomenal achievement after his issues in the South Pacific stopping at Macquarie Island for repairs. He passed Cape Horn in 9th, 500 miles behind the leader Bestaven and will be the first over the Equator. Sadly, The Albatross King, Sébastien Destremau...

Boris Herrmann has moved up to third overall with just Burton and Dalin ahead of him. He has cut the difference by over 50 miles in the last 24 hours and he has a time adjustment at the finish of six hours - the last 3700 miles is a race against the clock not just being first over the line... Foo...

It's time for the foilers - finally! They are coming into their own if they're not damaged.. Boris Herrmann is a rare commodity - his foils are not damaged and our German viewers are getting excited about his prospects of moving further up the leaderboard.

Charlie Dalin is in prime position at the casino roulette table - it's 'Viva Las Brazil' for the leading nine boats. Seguin has dropped to 5th and Burton is up to 3rd but it's just a few miles between all of the top five boats. Footage ©Vendée Globe / Nefertiti Production
