The 1992–1993 Vendée Globe was a non-stop solo round-the-world yacht race for IMOCA 50 and IMOCA 60 class yachts, and started on 22 November 1992 from Les Sables-d'Olonne.

Summary

The second race attracted a great deal of media coverage.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} American Mike Plant, one of the entrants in the first Vendée race, was lost at sea on the way to the race, his boat found capsized near the Azores.{{cite news |last=Lloyd |first=Barbara |date=26 November 1992 |title=Solo Sailor Is Presumed To Be Dead |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/26/sports/solo-sailor-is-presumed-to-be-dead.html |newspaper=New York Times |access-date=8 December 2016 }}

The race set off into extremely bad weather in the Bay of Biscay, and several racers returned to the start to make repairs before setting off again (the only stopover allowed by the rules).{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} Four days after the start, British sailor Nigel Burgess was found drowned off Cape Finisterre, having presumably fallen overboard.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} Alain Gautier and Bertrand de Broc led the race down the Atlantic; however, keel problems forced de Broc to abandon in New Zealand.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} Gautier continued with Philippe Poupon close behind, but a dismasting close to the finish held Poupon back, allowing Jean-Luc Van Den Heede to take second place.{{cite news |date=July 1993 |title=French Toast Tough Vendée Globe Fleet |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xLzXfi33R9AC&q=%22philippe+poupon%22 |newspaper=Yachting |issn=0043-9940|volume=174 |issue=1 |access-date=8 December 2016 }} Nándor Fa became the first non French national to finish the race.
