► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Siamo a Roseau, Dominica. Visitiamo questo paesino caratteristico e subito ci sentiamo avvolti dalla realtà locale a 360 gradi. Strade asfaltate, palazzi fatiscenti, anziani locali che assomigliano moltissimo a Bob Marley. Una volta ho letto che l’indice di salute di un luogo si misura dalla presenza di cani randagi. Qui è pieno, e guardandoci intorno è facile a trovare corrispondenze con Roseau. Ogni volta che visitiamo una cittadina dei Caraibi ci chiediamo di cosa vivano, se di turismo o di cos’altro. Immaginiamo un livello di povertà elevato (a suggerircelo la spazzatura per la strada, animali randagi, automobili degli anni 90, gli articoli nei negozi,…) e pensiamo a quelle persone nate qui, costrette a tollerare fiotte di turisti con i cappelli di paglia e la pelle bianca come il latte, come compromesso per racimolare qualche dollaro ogni giorno. Li guardo da lontano con curiosità e un po’ di timore. Vorrei dirgli che io sono diversa, che vorrei sentirmi parte di quella comunità per capirla fino in fondo, che vorrei sapere tutto sulla loro vita, tipo fa freddo di notte a luglio? Come funzionano le cose lí? Ci si sposa e si figlia o si figlia e ci si sposa? C’è una società patriarcale? Perché tutti tengono i capelli lunghi? Si beve il caffè in moka? Perché camminano tutti scalzi? Perché perché perché? Ma continuo a camminare, guardando con la coda dell’occhio angoli privati e assolutamente normali, proprio quelli che mi interessano di più. Questo viaggio serve proprio a questo d’altronde. Continuare a camminare. Osservare e camminare. Sperando un giorno o l’altro, di capirci qualcosa. Un po’ come la vita, no? Camilla
