Reflecting on an incredible Vendée Globe journey

March 18, 2025 · 3 min read

Reflecting on our proud contribution to the Vendée Globe, supporting sailors with weather routing and navigation solutions on their round-the-world journey.

The Vendée Globe pushes the limits of human endurance and seamanship. Supporting the sailors who take on this legendary solo non-stop race around the world has been one of the most rewarding experiences in our journey as a company.

A heartfelt thank you

We extend our deepest gratitude to the race organisation and the course management team for their trust, coordination, and the extraordinary conditions they created for this edition. Collaborating with them day by day was both a privilege and an inspiration.

Our contribution in numbers

Over the course of 117 days of continuous availability, the Marine Weather Intelligence team delivered:

  • More than 50,000 routings completed via the MWI Races App and Geovoile RMS
  • Daily briefings with course management teams
  • Round-the-clock meteorological support for skippers navigating the Southern Ocean, Cape Horn, and beyond

The essence of the Vendée Globe

Thirty-five sailors completed the circumnavigation, each one demonstrating an unshakeable spirit in the face of extreme conditions. Witnessing their determination, their ability to make sound decisions under pressure, in isolation, with nothing but the sea and the sky, is a constant reminder of why precise weather intelligence matters.

We are proud to have contributed to their safety and performance. The Vendée Globe is more than a race. It is a testament to what human beings can achieve when preparation, expertise, and courage converge.

We look forward to the next chapter.
