The Vendée Globe on tour in New York
14 skippers among those competing in the next Vendée Globe are currently in New York where they will set sail on Sunday at the start of the new transatlantic race between New York and Les Sables d'Olonne.
An important event for some of these sailors, who will be seeing how they measure up against each other for the first time and how their boats are doing. It looks like an interesting race, as the conditions are likely to be close to those they will encounter in the Vendée Globe with wind conditions allowing the skippers to get the most out of their boats.
While we await the start on Sunday, sit back and enjoy the fantastic pictures produced during the IMOCA Currency House Charity Race on the Hudson River off Manhattan.
