🇬🇧 In 1978, a scruffy little trimaran stole the greatest race finish in sailing history by just 98 seconds. Every four years since, Saint-Malo empties its harbour to chase that ghost.

🇩🇪1978 gewann ein schäbiger kleiner Trimaran das legendärste Rennen der Segelgeschichte — mit nur 98 Sekunden Vorsprung. Seither leert Saint-Malo alle vier Jahre seinen Hafen, um diesem Geist nachzujagen. Am Sonntag stechen 118 Einhandsegler Richtung Guadeloupe in See — warum die Rhum das rebellischste, tragischste und aufregendste Segelrennen der Welt ist.
