The 13th Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe sets sail from Saint-Malo at 1:02pm on November 1, sending 117 solo skippers across the Atlantic to Pointe-à-Pitre. A handful of wildcard entries could still join the fleet before the gun.
Six classes share the same start line this edition: Ultim, IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, Class40, and the Vintage Multi and Vintage Mono divisions. The race village opens in Saint-Malo on October 20 ahead of the start.
