19The Vendee Globe race is the longest race in the
world, and the only single-handed, non-stop sailing
race around the world. It starts and finishes at Les
Sables d’Olonne. Considered one of the hardest races
to complete, with almost 50% of competitors unable
to finish, only 50 sailors have completed the race in
the 22 years since its inception.
With 70% of all entries and every winner-to-date
coming from France, single-handed sailing has
become part of the French lifestyle. The Vendee
Globe is embedded in the French culture. In fact,
during the year of the regatta, elementary school
students follow the racers progress as part of their
geography class curriculum. The event posts a
website exclusively directed to kids (www.vendee-
globe-junior.vendee.fr) so that kids can follow the
racers and watch videos.
The Vendee Globe is an example of strength and
determination. Despite the fact that more people have
been in space than have completed this race, being
at the sea by yourself for almost 90 days, can be just
as challenging — not just physically but mentally as
Quite simply, it’s in the French DNA.

20 well. This museum will be a tribute to those brave men
and women that have survived the challenge and
particularly for those that have died trying.
The museum would offer a great interactive experience
for those passionate about sailing and for anybody
that likes extreme sports and adventures. Other than
inspiring more people to get involved in the sport, the
museum will help to show how we can beat-the-odds
and achieve our goals if we adequately prepare and
accept the challenge.
With more then 300,000 people visiting the race village
annually, and almost half-a-million in attendance
along the shoreline of Les Sables d’Olonne at the start
of the last race, the museum will be appropriately
located at the Centre de Congrés des Atlantes in Les
Sables d’Olonne facing the starting line on the water.
Environmental signage and billboards around the
city will be key to inform the visiting public about the
existence of the museum. Advertisements in major
sailing magazines and on related websites will also
be key to publicize the museum within the world
sailing community.

25An official supplier of legends since 1989, this race
has captivated the maritime world and the public
in general, to the point where even the strongest
superlatives seem unable to define it. The sea also
has its mythical summit, created twenty years ago
by a sailor, two times winner around the world.
Philippe Jeantot bathing in the glory of his two
victories in the BOC Challenge, the single-handed
race around the world with stopovers, wished to
go further with the idea of an adventure… “Time,”
How it all begins he wrote, “is a necessary factor to attain perfect
harmony with one’s sailboat. We had to forget
about stopping. A round-the-world race, without
stopovers or assistance, such were the conditions
to reach the desired communion. For the first
edition, we set off towards the unknown. None of
the 13 sailors who crossed the starting line in 1989
had the experience of a solo journey exceeding
100 days.”.

29A Simple IdeaOne lap around the
world non-stop
The course for the Vendee Globe illustrates the
straightforward nature and simplicity of the idea
behind this major event. You sail around the world
from west to east via the three major capes of Good
Hope, Leeuwin and the Horn. There is a long slide
down the Atlantic, the perilous voyage across the
Southern Ocean with firstly the Indian Ocean and
its crossed seas, then the Pacific Ocean, the world’s
biggest ocean. Finally, there is the climb back up the
Atlantic to head back to Les Sables d’Olonne, which
marks the start and finish of the Everest of the seas.

32 The inspiration for the logo came from the point of
view of the competitors of the race — being on open
ocean for almost 100 days, the only view they have
for 99% of the time is the horizon. Is the longest
race on the planet, which also supports the idea of
a long horizontal.

inspired by the sky, the deep purplish is the tone of
open ocean waters. Black represents carbon fiber, the
most used material in the boats. Red and green are

emphasizes the direct relation of the institution
with the ocean. The logo going from edge-to-edge
reinforces the representation of the horizon and long

41The use of full-bleed photos and landscape
formats gives the openness of being in the middle
of the ocean. For the posters, the idea was to
emphasize the two biggest challenges of the race.
The mental and physical side of racing — being
alone as you travel around the world for almost
100 days without assistance or human contact.

A sailing race around the world, for singlehanders, without any stopover. That’s it. In theory at least, because beyond these words start great stories.
Official supplier of legends since 1989, this race has impressed the maritime world and the public in general, to the point where even the strongest superlatives seem unable to define it. The sea also has its mythical summit, created 15 years ago by a sailor, two times winner around the world (BOC Challenge, with stopovers), who refused to rest on his laurels.
Philippe Jeantot wished to go further, to give a new dimension to the world of maritime adventure… “Time, he wrote, is a necessary factor to attain perfect harmony with one’s sailboat. We had to forget about stopping. A round-the-world race, without stopovers or assistance, such were the conditions to reach the desired communion. For the first edition, we set off towards the unknown. None of the 13 sailors who crossed the starting line in 1989 had the experience of a solo journey exceeding 100 days” *.

57The curved front face of the building is inspired by the
shape of the sails on the boats, with external and exhibit
walls made of glass, creating a very open and bright
space simulating the perspective of the sailors on the
open ocean.
The movable curved walls on the floor plan were
inspired by the waves and tide currents that the
sailors encounter during their journey. The walls can
be rearranged every time a new exhibit is introduced.
The biggest focal point of the museum is the full scale
boat model located in the center of the exhibits area,
reinforcing the fact that the boat becomes the center
of a competitor’s universe during the race.

77In theory, the Vendée Globe is an utterly simple
affair. Its fundamental principles come down to a
few sentences, compared to which even the roughest
logbook would seem sophisticated.
A sailing race around the world, for single-handed
sailors, without any stopover. That’s it. In theory at
least, because beyond these words, we find the magic
of this adventure.
Official supplier of sailing legends since 1989, this
race has captivated the maritime world and the
public—even the strongest superlatives seem unable to
define it. Le Musée du Vendée Globe will create a great
opportunity for everybody to experience a little and
learn about the adventure of 1 IN 136.810.140.
