The Route du Rhum 2002: Press Release N° 34
The Rhum in Small Sips

The Route du Rhum has always been open to everyone, famous or otherwise. Just getting over to the other side of the Atlantic is an achievement in itself. This year’s Route du Rhum was marked by the breakage and capsizes in the trimaran fleet, but there is also a smaller version multihull, the 50-foot class, who weathered the storm without serious breakage. After sunrise in Guadeloupe Anne Caseneuve passed the finish line on her 50-foot trimaran Yachting Casino.com, more than a day behind the winner of the class, Franck Yves Escoffier on Crepes Whaou!. Both were sailing without autopilot the last days of racing, and were exhausted once on dry land.

Die Route du Rhum : Ein einzigartiges Rennen
Über die Grenzen der Sportwelt oder der Segelszene hinausgehend - ist die Route du Rhum zu einem Symbol des persönlichen Wettstreits und des technologischen Fortschritts geworden.
Erdacht 1978 von Michel Etevenon, erfreut sich dieses Transatlantikrennen einer einmaligen Position im Ocean-Rennen. 23 Jahre nach seiner Eröffnung, hat sich die Route du Rhum mit der Zeit weiterentwickelt und wußte immer neue Trends aufzunehmen.
Auch heute bleibt die 2002 Ausgabe des Rennens seinen ursprünglichen Grundsätzen treu: die persönliche Prägung, die dieses Rennen möglich machte, während neue Techniken und Mentalitäten aufgenommen wurden.

Prinzipielle Grundsätze des Rennens
Die Route du Rhum ist eine Einhand- Transatlantik-Regatta, welche alle vier Jahre durch Promovoile organisiert wird. Das Rennen ist offen für Boote über 40 Fuß, sowohl Einrumpf- als auch Mehrrumpfboote, wie auch Profi- und Amateursegler,soweit sie die Sicherheitsvorschriften des Organisators und internationale Vorschriften erfüllen.
Die maximale Anzahl von Teilnehmern für das diesjährige Rennen ist auf 60 festgelegt worden. Das Rennen findet im November statt mit Start in St.Malo und endet in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe).
