Day 13. My last day at sea. I saw land in the morning, but it still took until sunset to finally arrive. Funny how that works. After nearly two weeks looking at nothing but ocean, land suddenly feels both incredibly close and impossibly far away. Today felt like the end of one adventure and the beginning of another. The crossing is done. The lessons have been learned. The boat has been tested. And now the focus shifts completely. From here, it’s all about preparing Showgirl. Finishing the projects, solving the problems, and getting everything ready for what comes next. Because this crossing was never really the goal. It was one more step toward the bigger dream. Now it’s time to get to work. Together, we’re going around the world. 🌍⛵🌊 ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me. ------------------------------------------ New videos EVERY 7th of the month ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/classicmara ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/classicmara_/ __________________________ Support me: PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/helgamarielk Vipps: 39088 - Classic Mara Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/griedy1 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/173a9a5e6 Buy Me a Coffe: https://buymeacoffee.com/classicmara __________________________ Affiliate links: Dakota Lithium Batteries: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=79634&awinaffid=2732466&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dakotalithium.com Orca Navigation System: https://getorca.com/?via=classicmara PitViper: https://www.pitviper.com/discount/CLASSICMARA?redirect=%2F&utm_campaign=money%2Bcounters&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=upfluence

You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

► Full test in Multihulls World N197: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/gp70-and-then-cruising-became-fantastic ► This racy catamaran designed for fast blue water cruising was initially intended for series production by a well-known shipyard at La Grande-Motte, but ultimately, the project has been taken on by Trimarine, based on the Tagus River near Lisbon, Portugal. The GP70, built with 80% epoxy carbon sandwich, manages to limit its displacement to 17.5 t. This large multihull was designed to offer a very high level of self-sufficiency thanks to low consumption of onboard equipment, a large surface area of solar panels (3 kWp), an efficient watermaker and two imposing 264 US-gallon (1,000 liter) fuel tanks. Under sail, the GP 70 promises exceptional performance and the bridgedeck clearance guarantees excellent seakeeping behavior in big seas. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Trimarine Naval Architect: VPLP Overall length: 68’11” (21 m) Beam: 32’ (9.75 m) Draft: 5’3” (1.6 m) Air draft: 90’ (27.45 m) Light displacement: 38,580 lbs (17.5 t) Upwind sail area: 2,380 sq ft (221 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 kW Yanmar JH4 Fuel: 2 x 264 US gal (2 x 1 000 l) Water: 290 US gal (1,100 l) ► 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!
