Jean-Luc Van Den Heede
Jean-Luc Van Den Heede has rounded Cape Horn twelve times and completed six solo circumnavigations, achieving five race podiums and one world record (circumnavigation against the prevailing winds and currents, which he still holds). He finished third then second in the Vendée Globe, and won the retro (‘as in 1968’) Golden Globe Race in 2019 at the age of 73.
