Experience the Everest of the Sea with North Sails
Imagine being isolated, confined to a vessel no bigger than 40 square meters, in severe weather that tests both your physical and mental limits. You find yourself at Point Nemo in the Pacific Ocean—the most isolated location on Earth. Each moment brings a wave of emotions: fear, solitude, and an unyielding love for the sport. It’s intense. It’s what the Vendée Globe embodies.
Solo, non-stop, around the globe, and without any help. The Vendée Globe is an extraordinary race, and 2024 marks a decade of this legendary journey.
Loft 57 takes you behind the scenes
Offshore Sails and Ocean Race Champion Charlie Enright presents the Vendée Globe series of Loft 57, the North Sails Podcast. This exclusive series delves deeper into the stories of those connected to this iconic French race. Episodes 1 and 2 are now available.
Ensuring that sailors stay warm and dry is essential. The Vendée Globe 2024 will once again see North Sails Performance Clothing innovate as North Sails Ambassadors Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild test and share firsthand experiences on how the North Sails foul weather gear withstands the harshest conditions Mother Nature can throw at them.
