Charlie Dalin celebrates victory with champagne – Facebook After all he’d been through, battling three-story waves didn’t seem that daunting. French sailor Charlie Dalin started feeling intense abdominal pains in 2023 and was diagnosed with a six-inch tumor on his small intestine. And it was cancerous. He’d been planning to race in the Vendée Globe, a famously dangerous 24,000-mile race to circumnavigate the world through boundary waters off southern Africa, Australia, and Antarctica—some of the most treacherous environments on Earth.
