Source: 1978 Route du Rhum

The Route du Rhum is a single person transatlantic race first run in 1978.
The inaugural race had an unusually close finish for a trans ocean race of this era where boats varied so much. Under 8 minutes separated Mike Birch on his trimaran and Michel Malinovski, as can be seen in vintage footage.
