On November 10, 2024, 40 skippers from around the globe took to sea to participate in the Vendée Globe, an epic solo yacht race around the world. One of them is Samantha Davies. She's not only an esteemed sailor but also the founder of Initiatives-Coeur, which helps raise money for children with heart diseases. From her boat, she answered to FRANCE 24's Jennie Shin's questions.
