A collision with a fishing boat has taken Kito de Pavant, sailing for Groupe Bel, out of the Vendée Globe non-stop round-the-world single-handed yacht race, two days into the race and only a  day after Marc Guillemot was forced to drop out a keel failure on his boat,Safran. The collision damaged the outrigger, bowsprit, deck and hull of his boat, though fortunately, de Pavant was not injured.
