The Straight Version
The 115 sailors competing in the Route du Rhum set sail from Saint-Malo on Sunday in mild weather, embarking on a solo transatlantic crossing. The race began at 12:02 GMT, with boats heading along the Brittany coast in light winds towards a mandatory checkpoint near Cap Fréhel, where crowds had gathered to watch. One competitor, Nicolas d’Estais, described the conditions as ideal before boarding his yacht, Café Joyeux. Selina Sykes reports from Saint-Malo.
