In ten days' time the Vendee Globe 2012 will start. And in Les Sables d'Olonne, the yachtsmen are already getting ready for the start. Bertrand de Brock, a double round-the-world competitor, is riding his VNAM (Votre Nom autour du Monde) in 35-40 knots of wind.

In 1996, the experienced Frenchman made his name around the world in preparation for the Vendee Globe. Back then, his boat was adorned with 6,000 names of people and 1,000 names of companies that donated money to Bertrand for the race. In early 2012, de Brock revisited the idea. Take a look for yourself. Would you like to see your name on board a boat?
