This man would not give up

In the true spirit of sport, Sebastien Destremau finished the round the world yacht race seven weeks behind the winner. The Vendee Globe is the premier single-handed non-stop circumnavigation race and was won by Armel Le Cleach who crossed the line on 19th January. Of the 28 starters  eleven retired , but Destremau never considered giving up and 124 days after setting out he landed at Sables d'Olonne this morning.
