PENALTY DECISIONS MADE BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE
 

The start line for this edition of the Vendee Globe boasted the most impressive line-up of competitors to date. The very first Vendee started in 1989 with 13 hopeful entrants, while this year's edition saw 30 sailors jostling for position as they crossed the start line. And it is set to be one of the most exciting races to date too.

Ocean Addict has been catching up with Pete Goss and finding out all about his exciting new project. It's another epic boat-build and sailing voyage, but this is so incredibly different from everything he's done before.
