The Everest Of The Seas, Vendée Globe, starts in Les Sables d'Olonne, France. It's time to find out why this is regarded as the greatest sailing race round the world. Solo, non-stop and without assistance - a record 33 skippers, including 6 women, representing nine countries, take to the water for their epic vogage competing against each other, their inner demons and the elements. Certainly an extreme way to get out of a Covid lockdown. Footage ©Vendée Globe
