This famed Canadian schooner inspired people from across the nation, both directly through its success and indirectly through the many songs and homages to its achievements. While the days of wooden ships and iron men have passed, the need for inspiring Canadian figures remains. The Vendée Globe represents a race where such historic personalities are made. The Vendée Globe is a round-the-world single handed sailing race which takes place every four years.
