Transatlantic ‘Route du Rhum’ sailing race delayed due to unsafe weather
The 12th edition of the transatlantic race affectionately named the Route du Rhum (the Rhum Road) has been postponed due to bad weather and hazardous sailing conditions. The race that starts in Saint Malo in France and ends in Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe — also known as the queen of transatlantic solo yacht races — is considered to be one of the most diverse to date due to the wide range of ages and genders of the participants.

The PONANT Sydney Noumea Yacht Race has been postponed until 2024.
The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) – organiser of the bi-annual race – made the difficult decision due to ongoing difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including uncertainty around international travel restrictions.
The PONANT Sydney Noumea has been rescheduled for 2024 to ensure the race remains aligned with the New Caledonia Groupama Race, which is a natural follow-up event for competitors in the CYCA’s longest ocean race.
CYCA Commodore Noel Cornish AM said: "The PONANT Sydney Noumea Yacht Race is one of the CYCA’s greatest offshore racing tests, with some of the most ardent sailors from across Australia and abroad having taken on the 1,064 nautical mile journey.
"We look forward to restoring this highly-anticipated event to the CYCA’s sailing calendar in 2024.
"The Club thanks Race Sponsor PONANT for their unwavering support over the last two years as we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic."
The PONANT Sydney Noumea was last run in 2018, with Seb Bohm’s Rogers 46 Smuggler winning on all handicaps and Michael Martin’s TP52 Donovan Frantic taking Line Honours.
