He is best known for his achievements in single-handed sailing and set the current world-record for the westabout circumnavigation (he holds the overall record, i.e. although he sailed solo, nobody was faster on this route with a crewed boat). He started sailing at the age of 17. In the Breton port city of Lorient he worked as a mathematics teacher. After 1989 he became a full-time sailor. Among sailors, he is also known by his initials ''VDH''. ==Achievements== *1977 : 2nd of the Mini Transat *1979 : 2nd of the Mini Transat *1986 : 2nd of the BOC Challenge on ''Let's Go'' *1990 : 3rd of the Vendée Globe on ''3615 MET'' *1993 : 2nd of the Vendée Globe on ''Sofap Helvim'' *1993 : 4th of the Transat Jacques Vabre *1995 : 3rd of the BOC Challenge on ''Vendée Entreprises'' *1998 : 2nd of the Route du Rhum on ''Algimouss'' *2002 : Record crossing of the Channel aboard Adrien with Karen Leibovici *2004 : Record westabout circumnavigation in 122d 14h 3min 49s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean-Luc Van Den Heede」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
