Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe

12th edition - Village of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe
from October 25, 2022 with a race start on November 6, 2022.

Created in 1978, under the leadership of Michel Etévenon, La Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe is the queen of single-handed transatlantic races. For 10 editions, it has linked Saint-Malo to Pointe-à-Pitre, Brittany to Guadeloupe and brings together the greatest sailors on the same starting line.

From the victory of Mike Birch on his little yellow trimaran in the first edition, to the breathtaking arrival of Loïck Peyron on his giant multihull in the tenth in 2014, through the coronation of Florence Arthaud in 1990 or the double of Laurent Bourgnon in 1994 and 1998, Rum left strong images in the memory of all French people.

On Sunday November 6, 2022, the event organized every four years by OC Sport Pen Duick will celebrate its 12th edition.
It will host six categories: the Ultimate category, the Multi50, the Imoca, the Class40, the Multihull Rum and the Monohull Rum. They will all set off at the same time on a 3,542 mile course.
A very large edition for sailors, the general public, partners and all stakeholders of the event.
