AND HERE THEY GO AT FULL SPEED POINTING TO STORMY SEAS: BEAUTIFUL IMAGES


Le départ de la Route du Rhum - Destination... by routedurhum

That's the start of the biggest solo Transat and probably the biggest of them all and the weather could not be more interesting: They are pointing to stormy seas and F8 seas. Some of the big monohulls are already reefed while the smaller 50 multihulls go with all sail out. I love those guys, the craziest on the race, the ones that take more risks and the more spectacular. Off course the Open 60 go with full sail as the Class 40 and i bet they want some bad weather ahead as a way to give them a chance to fight the multihulls, not the bigger ones (that are bigger then their monohulls) but the 50fters that are a bit smaller.
