After sailing around the world in 9 months on a 6.5-metre yacht, Alessandro Di Benedetto decided to compete in the Vendée Globe. The French-Italian skipper is about to win that new challenge, which he has actually found "quite easy": " I think it is simpler than sailing on a 6.5-metre boat because it's faster and therefore not as tiring. But I'm loving it because it's new to me and this is an amazing race, I've enjoyed it so much. It's really a different world. "
