Canadian Derek Hatfield is the fifteenth person to sign up officially for the Vendee Globe 2008. By confirming his entry, the former Mountie completes the first half of the fleet to satisfy the requirements to be there at the start in Les Sables d’Olonne on 9th November. Spirit of Canada, his Owen Clarke design, which is easily recognisable with her maple leaf, will have a lot of support on the other side of the Atlantic: following the idea of a campaign of ‘Your name around the world’, Derek Hatfield has already received 5000 signatures from people wanting to see their name written on the hull of his Open 60. — www.vendeeglobe.org
