Vendée Globe 2024
The most extreme solo-sailing, unassisted round-the-world ocean race
This year, 40 of the most skilled and courageous skippers will take part in the 10th Vendée Globe, a sailing race which takes off every four years from Sables d’Olonne in France.
Facing the raging elements, those 40 skippers are super-performers who without fear are pushing human and technical boundaries on a round-the-world race covering 45.000km distance over on average 80 days.
This year, Fabrice Amedeo, who is participating in his third Vendée Globe, will be pushing those boundaries a bit further: he will sail this race without using fossil fuels, relying on green energy alone, whilst also collecting valuable data for the scientific community about the health of our oceans. His is another race altogether. Hager Group and E3/DC are proudly sponsoring this extraordinary feat. We have adapted our building energy management systems to fit his boating needs. If he makes it without using fossil fuels, we will be one step closer to a future fuelled by sustainable energy. We share with him the passion, determination and courage which make change happen.
Embark with us on this adventure with a mission!
Another Race
Vendée Globe 2024
For our skipper, this Vendée Globe will not only be about performance, courage and surpassing human boundaries. He is adding another dimension to the quest.
Together with Fabrice Amedeo, we are embarking on another race: using Hager Group and E3/DC expertise, he will attempt to show that sailing the world is now possible using renewable energy only.
What’s at stake at the Vendée Globe?
In 2016, Fabrice came 11th in this most demanding of races. This time, he will not only compete to beat his own record – he wants to show the world that such a race can be done without burning any fossil fuels. Here Fabrice explains this incredible double jeopardy.
