Vendee Globe - Joe Seeten (Arcelor Dunkerque) 8th

Just 30 miles behind the British skipper, Joe Seeten chose to wait until later in the morning for his passage of the line, so as to give his vast crowd of fans the chance to arrive on zone. He finally crossed the finish line of the Vendee Globe at 11 hours 04 minutes and 45 seconds GMT this Sunday 20th February 2005 aboard 60 foot monohull Arcelor Dunkerque.
