Dans le sillage de Philéas Fogg, le héros du roman de Jules Verne, et sur les traces de Magellan, seules neuf équipes ont soulevé le précieux trophée. Présentée au château-musée de Brest, qui ofre une vue imprenable sur les arrivées et départs de nombreux records et tours du monde en solitaire ou en équipage, l’exposition « Trophée Jules Verne, l’extraordinaire record » rend hommage aux coureurs d’océans et témoigne de la singularité de ce défi et de son trophée symbolique, œuvre d’art signée Thomas Shannon.

  • Dossier Route Du Rhum.Pdf
    ROUTE DU RHUM Vingt-huit ans d'une course devenue mythique Florence Arthaud participait déjà à la première Route du Rhum, sur «X.Périmental », en 1978. Il faudra attendre 1990 pour que la « Petite fiancée de l'Atlantique » remporte la course. Mythe. Après Roland-Garros, les JO, le Tour de France, le Rhum est le 4e événement sportif connu des Français. Rappel historique La Route du Rhum est une course transatlantique en solitaire qui se court, tous les quatre ans au mois de novembre, entre Saint-Malo et Pointe-à-Pitre. Sa première édition en 1978 a été marquée par la disparition d'Alain Colas, ainsi que la victoire sur le fil de Michael Birch sur «Olympus Photo» qui a devancé Michel Malinovsky sur «Kriter V» pour 98 petites secondes après plus de 23 jours de course. Cette première édition symbolise le moment où les multicoques ont acquis une suprématie face aux monocoques. Avant cette course, tous les bateaux couraient dans la même catégorie. En 1982, ils sont cinquante-deux: dix-neuf abandonnent. Les grands multicoques apparaissent. Marc Pajot remporte la course en dix-huit jours, devant Bruno Peyron. Les grands multicoques marquent la cuvée 1986. Mais c'est l'hécatombe, entre abandons, avaries et la disparition d'Alain Caradec. Philippe Poupon ralliera Pointe à Pitre en quatorze jours. 1990 limite la taille des bateaux à 60 pieds. Le tout-carbone fait son entrée. Mais c'est surtout l'année de Florence Arthaud, qui réalise une Route du Rhum incroyable. 1994: ils ne sont que vingt-quatre, avec autant de multis que de monos.
