Round-the-world yacht race nears halfway mark
Escoffier talks about how the Vendee Globe is the toughest yacht race in the world and how he plans to win it.
Kevin Escoffier reveals in an exclusive interview to CNN his dramatic rescue of his sinking boat during the Vendee Globe yacht race. He recalls the moment when his yacht PRB capsized: "The boat turned over and began to fill up with water." He says, "I had no choice but to exit through the window as the boat was upside-down and I could not get out of its hatch." "I was hanging onto the boat and trying to keep my mind above water."
