Charlie Dalin crossed the finish line of the Vendée Globe sailing race on Wednesday night after nearly three months sailing solo around the world.
The 36-year-old Frenchman, competing in his first race, passed the Nouche Sud buoy near Les Sables d Olonne after braving the ocean waves for 80 days, six hours and 15 minutes.
He was greeted by a flotilla of boats and celebration flares. I m happy to have come home first, said Dalin. It s a bit strange from going around the world on your own to suddenly encountering so many boats and no time to adjust. It s a bit strange.

After 24,300 nautical miles and more than 80 days of racing around the world victory or a place on the podium on this ninth edition of the Vendée Globe might go down to the final lay line, picking and sailing the perfect compass course from more than 100 miles out to the finish line at Les Sables d Olonne s famous Nouche Sud buoy.
At 48 hours to the first finisher is expected on the line Wednesday afternoon, computer modelling from the current weather predictions suggest three solo skippers could finish within four hours of each other.
