The Transatlantic Race 2025 is organized by the New York Yacht Club and the Royal Ocean Racing Club, with support from the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Storm Trysail Club. Six days into the West-East Transatlantic Race, Christian Zugel’s Volvo 70 Tschüss 2, co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has raced over 2,000 miles and is the clear leader for both Monohull Line Honours and the overall IRC win. “For the first few days of the race, we had a variety of conditions, mainly driven by sea temperature changes. The plan is panning out—but everybody sticks to the plan until it punches you in the face,” commented Tschüss 2 navigator Campbell Field, taking nothing for granted. A standout feature of their progress has been precision navigation through the Gulf Stream’s meanders. “We picked up over three knots of current in one area and nearly four in another,” explains Field. “Sea temperature has been a big indicator—we saw it drop from 25°C to just under 8°C in a matter of hours.” Their 24-hour distance run has peaked at 491.5 nautical miles, averaging 20.5 knots. With 3.8 knots of favourable current and sustained speeds of 18–19 knots, they’re pushing hard. “We’re not cutting corners—we passed just a mile off Point Alpha,” says Field. “We’ve got 1,600nm to go, and anything can happen, but right now, we could beat the previous boat’s elapsed time.” That time—10 Days, 9 Hours, 1 Minute, and 42 Seconds—was set in 2019 by Wizard, now racing as Tschüss 2. Current projections show a finish nearly two days faster. Their main challenge is staying ahead of a cold front expected within 48 hours. “It’s all about placing ourselves on the leading edge. We’re running our own race, and if we stay smart, we’ll finish strong,” Field concluded. #rorcracing #TransatlanticRace #nyyc #ircrating

We hope you enjoy this mini-preview of the upcoming 2-Part video with a full walkthrough of this vessel. For pricing and additional pictures, please follow this link: https://www.catamarans.com/used-sail-catamaran-for-sale/2019-privilege-series-5/wild-rose-ii/178480 In the meantime, let us tell you a little bit of why we like this boat so much: The Privilege Series 5, is a luxury long-distance cruiser that has made a name for itself thanks to its quality build and finishes. These boats are a real step up from other cruising catamarans which is why we have included them in our Luxury Catamarans sections. There is an associated jump in the price of course. This boat has been well thought out with wide, easy-to-navigate side decks and plenty of handholds. and you can tell very quickly that she was designed for long passages. The helm, engine controls, instruments, and electric sheet winches are all around the raised helm station that should make her easy to sail with a short-handed crew. Visibility is good all-around from the elevated helm position on the port side. The hulls, deck, cabin top, and bimini are foam-cored and resin-infused, and to reduce weight, furniture and bulkheads are made with foam-cored maple laminates. The quality of the joinery finish is a real step up from less expensive boats, as you would expect. Contact Brent Hermann at brent@catamarans.com or (954) 224-7637
