Jean-Pierre Dick finished the Vendée Globe 2012-2013 with no keel, and took fourth place in this amazing event. Several of our fellow J/24 sailors competed against Jean-Pierre at many J/24 events in Europe in the 1990s, and they remember some very competitive tussles particularly at the French Spi Quest Regatta run from La Trinite every Easter.
