The start of the 12nd edition of the Route du Rhum will be given on November 6, 2022 in Saint-Malo, announced the organizing committee.
While the last edition in 2018 was marked by the tightest finish in the history of this classic between Francis Joyon (Idec Sport) and François Gabart (Macif), the organizing team announced last Friday that the twelfth edition of the Route du Rhum will start on November 6, 2022 from Saint-Malo for a finish in Pointe-à-Pitre.
One hundred and twenty boats (92 monohulls and 28 multihulls) will be able to participate in this legendary single-handed transatlantic race which takes place every four years.
In 2018, during the last edition, the event brought together more than 2 million people and in particular more than 250 sailing enthusiasts the day before departure.
