Vendée Globe finish: Leading boats expected to conclude maritime odyssey
French skipper Charlie Dalin is expected to be the first to cross the finish line at the end of the solo round-the-world Vendee Globe on Wednesday but that is no guarantee that he will win the epic race. The result is complicated by the fact that two of them -- Boris Herrmann and Yannick Bestaven -- were awarded time bonuses to be given after the race for joining the search and rescue for Kevin Escoffier after his boat broke in two in the south Atlantic. Yann Elies, Two-time Vendée Globe Participant, answers FRANCE 24's questions from the finish line in Les Sables-d'Olonne.
