Sablais Jeff Pellet set off on his own solo, non-stop round the world race one week after the 29 skippers of the Vendée Globe. On November 13, 2016, he went down the channel of Les Sables-d'Olonne aboard his IMOCA Come In Vendée, supported by thousands of people
Unfortunately, the race ends there for him! On November 30, after a shock with a UFO shortly after Cape Verde, Jeff Pellet decided to stop and check the damage. He joined the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, Bahia de San Antonio and discovered that the keel veil is very damaged. This damage clearly stops the skipper of Come In Vendée's hopes of continuing his round the world voyage...
The sailor who is currently off Brazil has therefore decided to return to Les Sables-d'Olonne.
