Building on the success of the Vendée Globe and two new races (the Vendée Arctique and the New York Vendée – Les Sables d'Olonne), the Vendée region is establishing itself as a hub for offshore racing. To solidify this legacy, a permanent race control center will be built.
⛵️ Alors que le @VendeeGlobe reviendra en 2028 pour une 11ème édition, le @DepVendee, Vendée Expansion et la @VilleDesSables ont annoncé la construction d'un bâtiment pérenne pour accueillir le futur PC course.
