Sam Goodchild feels ready for the Route du Rhum, starting November 1st, as a favorite in the Imoca class. The Franco-British sailor has had a successful season, winning the 1,000 Race and the 48H Azimut. His only setback was finishing second in the Vendée Arctique, where he learned valuable lessons despite leading for several days.
