Vendee Globe sailor claims she’s punished for being a mother

PARIS: Record-breaking French sailor Clarisse Cremer on Thursday claimed she has been effectively banned from entering the 2024 Vendee Globe round the world race because she recently became a mother.“I’m in shock,“ said the 33-year-old Cremer who has been removed as skipper of the “Banque Populaire” boat.The team took the decision, believing she was unable to qualify for the epic race after a change in regulations.“I learned last Friday that Banque Populaire had decided to replace me,“ explained Cremer who was 12th on the last edition of the race in 2020-2021.In the past, any sailor who had finished a previous race automatically qualified for the next edition.But this rule changed in 2021. Now, skippers who do not have a new boat, are all obliged to take part in a certain number of races to accumulate qualifying miles.“Under this criteria, I fell behind the other competitors at the start, my pregnancy having prevented me from taking part in qualifying races for a year,“ she said.Ronan
