Ari Huusela, the Finish skipper crossed the finish line, this Friday 5th of March at 8.35 of the last session of Vendée Globe race 2020-21, with a Spring sunshine . He arrived at sable d'Olonne as the 25th skippers of the list of winners of the race. The elapsed time for Huusela is 116 days 18 hours 15 minutes and 46 seconds and he closes the finish line 36 days after winner Yannick Bestaven and Charlie Dalin crossed. Huusela’s low risk ‘one chance only’ race round the planet has been executed with all the prudent weather routing precision and safeguards that might be expected of a long haul airline pilot who, while competing in his own ocean racing pinnacle event at the age of 58 always wanted to give himself the absolute best chance of finishing the course.He did not do like other skippers who have made landfall, when he overcame the final line, he ligthed his torchs to audience with a relief and satisfaction. The Finish athletic, made his child dream to be realistic and possible as he kept his faith to end it.
At the end of this record, I asked a question to him among a lot of my colleagues from France and Europe.
