tl/dr: “the Route du Rhum, a solo sailing race held every four years which starts this Sunday—a 3,542-nautical-mile dash from Saint-Malo in Brittany, France, to Pointe-à-Pitre on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, with every competitor sailing alone, singlehanded.”
ok, one moar:
tl/dr: “Gitana 18 is an Ultim, the biggest and fastest class in ocean racing—the Ultims take that to the extreme: 105 feet (32 metres) long and around 75 feet wide, they are the fastest breed of ocean-going thoroughbreds ever conceived.”
“Four years ago, the Gitana 17 set the Route du Rhum course record, completing the 3,542-nautical-mile course in 6 days, 19 hours and 47 minutes.”
