The skippers will set off for a first leg to reach Lanzarote (Canary Islands). They will leave on October 31 to avoid any risk of tropical storms when they reach the Caribbean.

The competitors will then take the sea to leave for Guadeloupe and more precisely for the Marina du Bas-Fort. It is in this same marina that the sailors of the Route du Rhum are welcomed.
