Atlantic (GenevaLunch) - Bernard Stamm of St Prex, Vaud, rejoined the Vendee Globe round the world sailing race Thursday morning, but with a significant delay after his boat needed serious repairs following a collision with a fishing vessel Sunday.

“There was the broken bowsprit, three damaged ballast compartments, the port dagger board and a lot of repairs to the mast. It took a lot of work with composites. I have been delayed by three days and am setting off in a high-pressure area, which isn’t great,” Stamm’s statement says. Race updates, Vendee Global site
