Rodolphe Sepho (Rêve de Large - Région Guadeloupe), 33th in IMOCA

Rodolphe Sepho crossed the finish line of the twelfth edition of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe on Monday 28th November at 00 hours 17 minutes and 17' local time (05h 17mn 17' metropolitan time). The skipper of Rêve de Large - Région Guadeloupe finished 32nd in the IMOCA class with a race time of 18 days, 15 hours, 02 minutes and 17 seconds.
The Guadeloupean sailed the 3,542 miles of the course between Saint-Malo and Pointe-à-Pitre at a speed of 7.92 knots on the great circle route (the direct route). In reality, he covered 4689.25 miles at an average speed of 10.49 knots. He arrived in Pointe-à-Pitre 6 days 21h 25mn 52' after the winner in IMOCA, Thomas Ruyant (LinkedOut).
"I had confidence in my boat, I felt good. As soon as the village opened, we brought this boat to Saint-Malo and for days many high school students from Guadeloupe came to see us. The project was about saving water for the youth of Guadeloupe. The Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe is not just a sporting event, but a vehicle for integration and for being active in the economic and social fields. The reward was already there at the start. Today is the icing on the cake. I experienced this race like the others, it was complicated, this race was very technical, but it was beautiful, very beautiful. This is sport, competition, and I enjoyed it a lot.
