After Tom Laperche's triumph, the town of Concarneau keeps its eyes fixed on Guadeloupe where Sam Goodchild could arrive as early as Wednesday.
The 2022 Route du Rhum gave Concarneau one of its finest sporting moments. Tom Laperche, from the Mer Concept stable based in the Finistère port, crossed the finish line in the Ultim class with a comfortable lead, offering the town a deserved triumph on Caribbean waters.
But the festivities are far from over. Sam Goodchild, also flying the colors of Mer Concept, continues his route toward Pointe-à-Pitre aboard his Imoca. The British skipper has firmly established himself in the top three of his class and could well join Guadeloupe as early as Wednesday, prolonging the Concarneau fiesta.
The Mer Concept stable has assembled a top-quality roster for this edition. With two boats expected in the Antilles in the coming hours, the Concarneau club demonstrates once again the excellence of its training program. The other units linked to the town continue their navigation toward the Antilles, each mile bringing them closer to a triumphant return to port.
This double performance perfectly illustrates the maritime expertise of the Concarneau region. Between fishing heritage and sporting excellence, the town continues to shine on the French sailing scene. Eyes will remain fixed on Guadeloupe in the coming days, where Goodchild could offer a second major gift to Concarneau's supporters.
