The departure of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe will be given on November 4th at 2pm. 123 participants will cross the starting line in 6 categories: Ultimate, Multi 50 and Multi Rum for multihulls, and Imoca, Class 40 and Mono Rum for monohulls. The fleet will start from the north of Pointe du Grouin (starting line) and head towards Cap Fréhel where the boats will have to leave the Cap Fréhel buoy to starboard. They will then be able to travel in the Atlantic before arriving in Guadeloupe. For the finish, the skippers must turn around the island leaving it to starboard (arrival from the north of the island).
