► 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!

► Full test in Multihulls World N°197: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/lagoon-60-a-palace-puts-to-sea ► Two years: that’s how long it’s taken to complete the Lagoon 60 project from A to Z - the replacement for the emblematic 630, that has seen unrivalled success in this size of catamaran (169 sailing models and another 58 examples of the 630 MY, the power version!). Seeking to ride a powerful wave of events motivated by the celebration of the shipyard’s 40th anniversary, Lagoon organized a world premiere event at home, at one of the Bordeaux yard’s platforms, where all models over 50 feet are built. The waterfront event was intended to be festive and even celebratory, with the presence of former international basketball player Boris Diaw, the brand’s ambassador. Lagoon also took the opportunity to showcase their full range of 40 to 77-foot yachts, both afloat and ashore. In terms of outline, the new 60-foot model, as ever signed by VPLP, presents a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation on deck concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. For the interior, the designers have managed to ensure totally flush circulation from one cockpit to the other, including of course the nacelle - a floor without steps, and that changes everything! We've already booked our sea trial of the Lagoon 60, which will be undertaken off Palma de Mallorca in June - stay tuned! ► Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Exterior design: Patrick le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Length overall: 59’11” (18.27 m) Beam: 32’5” (9.87 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Air draft: 98’ (30 m) Light displacement (CE): 70,560 lbs (32 t) Upwind sail area: 2,571 sq ft (239 m²) Mainsail: 1,603 sq ft (149 m²) Genoa: 968 sq ft (90 m²) Motors: 2 x 150 HP Fuel: 343 US gal (1,300 l) Water: 254 US gal (960 l) Berths: 8 to 14 CE Category: A: 14 / B: 14 / C: 20 / D: 20 www.catamarans-lagoon.com ► 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!

Algoritmos, telas e inteligência artificial mudaram até o discurso que chega até nós. Neste trecho, a reflexão é sobre usar o que o mundo novo oferece sem perder as experiências de verdade. Morar em um veleiro aparece como uma âncora no mundo real, uma forma de manter o contato com o concreto. #veleiro #vidaaboard #algoritmos #inteligenciaartificial #reflexao #filosofia
