# New York Vendée

The IMOCAs' solo return transatlantic, from New York to Les Sables-d'Olonne, ahead of the Vendée Globe.

Run by the organisers of the Vendée Globe, the race links New York with the round-the-world race's home port in the year it starts, crossing the North Atlantic west to east over some 3,200 miles. It counts towards skipper selection. In 2024, for the second edition, Charlie Dalin won in 10 days and 3 hours on MACIF Santé Prévoyance, ahead of Boris Herrmann, five months before winning the Vendée Globe. The next one is announced for June 2028.
