Two skippers from Maine-et-Loire, Fabrice Amedeo and Baptiste Hulin, will set sail on Sunday from Saint-Malo for the Route du Rhum, with distinct ambitions and paths.
The Route du Rhum 2026 will see the start of two sailors from Maine-et-Loire, each carrying distinct ambitions and paths. Fabrice Amedeo, 48, from Segré, will set sail for his fourth participation in this legendary race, while Baptiste Hulin, 29, from Cholet, will experience his second time in this event.
For Amedeo, this Atlantic crossing is part of a logic of consistency and accumulated experience over the editions. The Segré native has already crossed the vagaries of the Atlantic Ocean on several occasions, which gives him valuable knowledge of sea conditions and the demands of this demanding competition. His outlook on the race certainly bears the mark of a seasoned sailor, aware of the challenges ahead.
For Hulin, youth and ambition chart a different path. At 29, the Cholet native approaches this new edition with the enthusiasm and boldness characteristic of sailors seeking to establish themselves. After an encouraging first participation, he intends to make a breakthrough in his progression within the elite of offshore racing.
Two trajectories, two objectives, but the same starting point: the port of Saint-Malo, this Sunday, November 1st. These two representatives of Maine-et-Loire embody the diversity of profiles that make the richness of the Route du Rhum, where the experience of some intersects with the fire of others on the waters of the Atlantic.
