Yes, four years have passed since the last Vendée Globe and we made the most of a beautiful day to view the yachts along with many other visitors. The competitors set off on their single-handed round world race on Saturday but I think I'll watch the departure from the safety of the living room.

| Here's the main stand with some of the larger-than-life skippers watching over their yachts. |
 |
| Mike Golding is one of the three Brits competing. His yacht was dismasted (yes, a new word for me!) last time on the 38th day. |
 |
| How do you fancy this job? Look carefully at the next photo without the zoom! |
 |
| Alex Thomson had to give up on the 6th day last time with a cracked hull. |
 |
| I'm rooting for Samantha Davies this time, the only female in the race. She came 4th in 2008/2009. |
 |
| As you can see here, it's a very spectacular & popular venue. |
