Route du Rhum - Analysis time
As the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe prepares to round off proceedings with the official prize-giving in Pointe-à-Pitre, the skippers competing in the IMOCA Ocean Masters World Championship are enjoying a well earned rest before each of them heads off over the horizon on their future ventures. For some this race will be the final curtain call, for others a springboard onto other projects, but for one and all the Route du Rhum has been intense, fierce and also fantastic. The crown will once again go to François Gabart who, over the past four years of his IMOCA career, has been the man of firsts in his solo exploits: Transat B to B, Vendée Globe and Route du Rhum.
