البحار سام غودتشيلد وصاحب السفينة ماكيف الصحة والتأمين يتطلّعان إلى الصعود على المنصة في روت دو رو 2026 بعد نسختين مخيّبتين للآمال.
ستُطلق النسخة الـ14 من سباق "روت دو رو - إيديك"، وهو أحد أبرز سباقات الشراع العابر للبحر في فردي، هذا الأحد 1 نوفمبر 2026 من سان مالو. Among the skippers highlighted by experts, Sam Goodchild, the renowned Franco-British sailor, draws particular attention. Associated with the Niort-based mutual insurance group Macif Santé Prévoyance, he arrives in a strong favorite position for the final victory. This momentum comes in a context of redemption after mixed results in the two previous editions, where their ambitions had been thwarted.
The crew and the armament now have a story to rewrite on the famous transatlantic route. The two last participations had not offered the expected outcome, which reinforced the team's determination to correct the course. Intensive preparation and the technical tuning of the yacht allowed them to regain confidence. The objective is clear: to finish at the top of the classification and, if possible, to win in front of the crowd of supporters.
The course towards the finishing port at Pointe-à-Pitre will involve a long effort at sea. The ability to manage physical and technical endurance over this distance is crucial. Early season weather conditions, with their variable winds, will add a layer of strategic complexity. Skippers will therefore have to show great lucidity in decision-making to avoid weather traps that can upset the favorites.
The presence of Macif Santé Prévoyance as a main partner symbolizes the regional anchoring in this world race. For the institution, this association with Goodchild is a continuity in sports investment and talent support. Niort and more broadly Charentais supporters will follow every stage of the solo navigation with interest.
With the imminent start, excitement is rising on the quays of Saint-Malo. The combination of Goodchild's experience and the strong support of his sponsor creates a solid duo. It remains to be seen whether the winds will be on their side during the first crucial hours of the crossing. The Route du Rhum always reserves its share of surprises, but the foundations seem sound for a top performance this year.
