LES-SABLES-D'OLONNE, France (AP) — Tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans turned out at Les Sables d’Olonne to welcome the arrival of French sailor Violette Dorange at the finish of the Vendee Globe. At 23 years old, she became the youngest ever finisher of the round-the-world non-stop race. Dorange was 90 days at sea, almost one month longer than the winner, compatriot Charlie Dalin. But the online following and celebrations for Dorange’s arrival at the French port on the Atlantic coast on Sunday highlight the popularity the young sailor has achieved during her odyssey.
