Route du Rhum 2014 - Thanks to some new partners, Kito de Pavant will be taking the helm of the Class 40' Otio-Bastide Médical, a 2012 Verdier design, which belongs to his friend Bruno Jourdren.

As such he’ll be competing in the Route du Rhum, the start of which will be given in Saint Malo, northern France, on 2 November. Kito has opted to get straight to the point.

Indeed, setting sail from Roscoff, Brittany, on Thursday, he’s treating himself to a 1,800-mile (3,300km) solo jaunt to Port Camargue in southern France, which will likely take a dozen or so days and will serve as an official qualifier for the race.
