Qualification

edit

The race organisers have published the initial notice of race allowing a record entry of 40 boats to compete. The rules now prohibit older IMOCA 60 from competing, with 2008 generation boats being the oldest allowed to compete. The 13 first, new-boat skipper combinations starting two of five solo races (one in 2022 or 2023 and one in 2024) qualification races and finishing one of them will be selected automatically.[26]

Significant events during qualifying included:

  • Sailor Fabrice Amedeo (FRA) lost his boat Newrest – Art & Fenêtres to a fire (following a leak and an explosion) during a qualifying race in 2022.[27] He was able to secure another boat for his participation in the race.[28]
  • Banque Populaire choose to end its sponsorship with Clarisse Crémer (FRA), citing her young child as one of the reason, the public backlash led to the sponsor withdrawing and Crémer quickly found a new sponsor (L'Occitane En Provence) with the support of Alex Thompson Racing.[29][30]
  • Following the second dismasting of his boat during the Defi Azimut in October 2023 after a previous dismasting in the 2020-2021 Vendée Globe, Nicolas Troussel (FRA) lost the support of his sponsor Corum and with that the boat Corum l'Epargne. Nonetheless he reached official candidate status.[31]
  • Kevin Escoffier (FRA) lost support of his team and therefore the use of Holcim-PRB due to allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women during The Ocean Race 2022–23.[32] He was replaced by Nicolas Lunven.[33]
  • Charlie Dalin (FRA) was not able to take part in a solo qualification race in 2023 due to health issues, missing a key qualification requirement. An exemption in the rules allowed him to meet the requirement by crossing the starting line for the 2023 Transat Jacques Vabre.[34]
  • Éric Bellion (FRA) was not able to take part in the 2023 Retour à la Base due to damage taken during the 2023 Transat Jacques Vabre. An exemption for this case in the rules allowed him to fulfil the requirement of taking part in a solo race in 2022 or 2023.[34]
  • Phil Sharp (GBR) was not able to meet the requirement of taking part in a solo race in 2022 or 2023 due to damage taken to is new boat Oceanslab during the transfer to the start of the 2023 Retour à la Base.[34] As Jean le Cam was able to start this race, Sharp lost the chance of qualifying through the new-boat rule. He did not qualify.
  • François Guiffant (FRA) was allowed to take part in the qualification with an older boat from 2004 (Partage). He got an exemption to take part in the 2024 Vendée Globe conditional on fewer than 40 skippers qualifying and a place not being able to be filled.[34] He did not qualify.
  • The following campaigns were announced but did not reach candidate status:
    • Armel Tripon (FRA) announced a VPLP designed boat from the moulds of Malizia-Seaexplorer to be built by Airbus. The project was late and is unlikely to make the 2024 edition of the race but is progressing.[35]
    • Jörg Riechers (GER) announced a group design by Farr Yacht Design, Guillaume Dupont and Etienne Bertrand and built by Alva Yachts.[36] Though no official announcement has been made, the project seems to be abandoned.[37]
  • James Harayda (GBR) was not able to collect sufficient miles to qualify.
  • Romain Attanasio (FRA) was dismasted on 13 September 2024 during the 48 hour Azimut Challenge; fellow competitor Maxime Sorel (FRA) made his spare mast available as a replacement so that Attanasio could start the Vendeé Globe.
