LE CIGARE ROUGE participates to the Route du Rhum 2022 !

Second Route du Rhum for the LE CIGARE ROUGE

On November 9, 2022 at 2:15 pm in Saint-Malo, France, LE CIGARE ROUGE gave an impressive start at the famous Atlantic race La Route du Rhum, bound for Guadeloupe. For its 12th edition, The Queen of Transatlantics in Solitaire counted 138 skippers participating in the race, and among them is Catherine Chabaud aboard LE CIGARE ROUGE: together, they are ranking second at the moment in the Rhum Mono class! This skipper has already raced the Vendée Globe aboard this Open 60 in 1996, becoming the first woman to have completed the ‘around the world’ race solo without stopover during the race. This proves that even 25 years later, neither the LE CIGARE ROUGE nor Catherine have lost a single ounce of energy!
