Tom Laperche arrived on Sunday, November 8. He covered the race in six days.
Tom Laperche, Basile Bourgnon and Corentin Horeau each won their category in the Route du Rhum. The three sailors are linked by La Trinité-sur-Mer, in Morbihan.
Their success blends performance and neighborhood: three friends from the same port, three distinct victories, one and the same race.
This time sets a new Route du Rhum record. It is the clearest mark left by the trio.
He is the first of the three whose arrival is placed in this account. The record immediately puts Morbihan at the center of the edition.
Less than two minutes later, Corentin Horeau triumphs in turn. He wins on a monohull.
Basile Bourgnon, racing a trimaran, also wins his category. On his boat, he is overwhelmed by emotion.
The trimaran winner thus describes a daily closeness: the same neighbors, the same port, the same morning coffee before heading out on the water.
These remarks evoke mutual support. They name neither its author nor the moment.
The adventure is first and foremost one of friends. It is also a family story, with no further detail on the ties that bind them.
