The skipper of the Multi50 Arkema, Lalou Roucayrol, capsized on Wednesday, November 14 at 8:30 am French time, about 1000 miles from Guadeloupe.

After Armel le Cléac'h (Maxi Banque Populaire IX) last week, another trimaran has just capsized on this 2018 Route du Rhum. While about 1000 miles from Guadeloupe, Lalou Roucayrol capsized. Safely on board his boat, he quickly warned his shore crew to inform them that Arkema's trimaran had turned over in a very violent squall

Rescue was organised, while the skipper had enough water and food on board. However, it is limited in terms of communication with the outside world.
