A First Route du Rhum at the Forefront
In his first appearance in the Route du Rhum, Tom Laperche took the lead in the Ultim fleet and maintained a significant lead over his closest competitors, Thomas Coville and Louis Burton.
After crossing the Atlantic without the usual trade winds, the skipper of SVR-Lazartigue must still navigate around Guadeloupe. This final stretch of the course is challenging, as the wind shadows caused by the terrain and shifts in wind direction can make it difficult for the trimarans to make headway.
