Once every four years, the start of the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe offers a moment like no other, where emotion meets the grandeur of a great sporting feat.

The start of the Route du Rhum is a unique spectacle, one you have to experience at least once in your life.

After 13 days of meeting and sharing with nearly a million visitors, the 115 skippers now find themselves alone, facing themselves and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. An ocean that can make lifelong dreams come true, but can also shatter them.

For this 13th edition of the queen of transatlantic races, emotions run high. The last hugs, handshakes and goodbyes, and a few tears wiped away, give way to focus and adrenaline.

All eyes in offshore racing and French sport now turn to the bay of Saint-Malo, where 115 athletes are about to take on the Atlantic Ocean, bound for Guadeloupe.

On land, at sea or comfortably at home, it is a moment suspended in time, when the first lines of new offshore racing legends are already being written.
