With so few Pettersson launches for sale, particularly in the UK, VIRGO is a very attractive proposition for anyone looking to acquire an excellent example of C.G. Pettersson’s work, or simply a gorgeous ‘runabout’ or tender. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/553/VIRGO VIRGO is a classic wooden launch designed by the renowned C.G. Pettersson of Sweden in 1925 and fully restored to her former glory by the craftsmen of Clare Lallow’s boatyard at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. When one looks at her beautifully varnished hull and gleaming fittings, you would find it hard to appreciate that this vintage launch is nearly 90 years old. With her new Beta 60 Marine engine, ancillary gear and completely new electrical systems, VIRGO combines classic 1920s style - especially Pettersson’s trademark raised foredeck - with 21st Century technology.

► Conceived in 2013 to ease the pressure on the traditional ARC, which has been taking sailors across the Atlantic from East to West since 1986, the ARC+ has become increasingly popular thanks to its stopover in Mindelo, Cape Verde. According to Paul Tetlow, General Manager of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, the Mindelo stopover has many advantages - especially for family crews. The route, although longer overall, is in fact two legs shorter (11 to 16 days for Mindelo - St. Georges) than the ARC's “direct” transatlantic passage and features a generally more clement southerly route. The stopover also serves to strengthen the bonds between the crews. Arriving in Grenada, in the far south of the West Indies, means there are no questions about the Caribbean program: you're heading north until May, and that's that! This year, no fewer than 91 yachts ranging in size from 36 to 72 feet (11 to 22 m) docked at Grenada's luxurious Port Louis marina. Among them were no fewer than 27 catamarans - a ratio that is steadily increasing in favor of multihulls. On the dock, 434 sailors of 26 different nationalities shared their ocean experience. 37 children took part in the adventure: among them, Lauren, Rebecca and Michela, aboard the Dutch Excess 11 AtC, looked after Archie, the ARC+'s teddy bear mascot... The ARC+, deliberately oriented towards cruising, has no racing division, whereas the ARC does, but only for monohulls. All multihulls are therefore authorized to use their engines, but they are required to declare the times they use them, and an hourly penalty is logically assigned. It can be strategically useful for getting out of an area of calms more quickly and optimize passage time. As a consequence of this “motor-driven” regatta, it's the compensated time that motivates the crews and interests us. Note that 10% of the fleet did not use their engines at all. ► 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!
