LA ROUTE DU RHUM (assistance)
This regatta binds St Malo (Britanny, France) to Point-au-Pitre (Guadeloupe, Caribbean) since 1978. It generally departs on the last week of October and arrives at its destination on the week before the last of November. The role of the Açores is but of assistance, varying the number of boats in our ports according to the problems and/or necessities that come across to them. This regatta happens every 4 years. Monohulls and multihulls without class specification nor measure restriction can join in: it is the “transantlantic regatta of freedom, from France to overseas France ”.
