Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe

Created in 1978 by Michel Etevenon, the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe has made a name for itself as the quintessential singlehanded transatlantic race with a legendary course spanning 3,542 miles (6,562 kilometres) between Saint Malo and Pointe-à-Pitre. On 6 November 2022, the 12th edition of the event will gather together 138 sailors in Saint Malo, divided up into six categories of sailboat. Sixteen of these boats (three Ultims, eleven IMOCAs and two Ocean Fiftys) benefit from the experience and expertise of the CDK Technologies yard, which specialises in the construction of prototype yachts and whose productions have systematically monopolised all the most prestigious offshore racing podiums for over 35 years.
