BIGOUDEN, 2007 Discovery 55 Sailing Video The Ron Holland-designed Discovery 55 sets a high benchmark for the luxury, push button cruising yacht category. The interior layout is brilliant with a raised dinette, pilot station, large passageway galley, full beam aft owner’s stateroom, bunk room, and VIP guest stateroom. Interior design details are by the renowned mega yacht stylist Ken Freivokh. The light maple interior and large saloon windows make the interior bright and airy. A walk-in engine room allows superb machinery access. BIGOUDEN is hull no.19 of this Discovery 55 series. She was launched in 2007 and spent most of her life in the eastern Mediterranean with light seasonal use and on-land storage until November of 2017 when she participated in the ARC rally ending up in the Caribbean. From there she continued up the east coast to Newport, Rhode Island, where she had cruised summers while being professionally maintained indoors at Bristol Marine in Somerset, Massachusetts. Her condition is therefore excellent when compared to sisterships that have circumnavigated as is their wont and capability. She has never been chartered and has always received the best of care. Electronics were updated with a full suite of the latest Raymarine Hybrid Touch displays. She has recently been bottom-painted and is ready for cruising in New England or beyond.

► Discover our full article on our website: https://www.multihulls-world.com/news-catamaran-trimaran/arc-2024-almost-3000-nautical-miles-ahead-of-them ► The success of blue water cruising rallies is undeniable, and in this field, the World Cruising Club hosts the biggest, with no fewer than 234 yachts registered for the ARC+ and the ARC combined. We were in Las Palmas for the start of the ARC. The first thing we noticed on the marina pontoons was the growing number of multihulls: there were 33 in 2021, 37 in 2022, 44 last year and 45 this year, out of the 140 boats registered for the start. This brings the number of two and three-hulled yachts taking part to 32% - compared with 28% in 2023, when 156 yachts were entered. The most represented multihull brand this year is Fountaine Pajot with 8 examples, followed by Outremer and Lagoon - with 7 and 5 catamarans respectively. More generally, these transatlantic rallies are always well attended, even if the edition we’re following this year shows a slight decline in favor of the ARC+. Launched in 2013, this rally leaves Las Palmas two weeks ahead of the ARC and includes a stopover in Cape Verde, which seems to be very popular before reaching Granada. The “traditional” ARC, meanwhile, is celebrating its 39th edition and has always set off from Las Palmas. The finish line is in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia. It’s interesting to note that the format proposed by the organizers, which incorporates safety checks, training modules and comprehensive checks, has become even safer with the advent of satellite internet – thanks to Starlink. Crews with little or no experience of ocean sailing, of which there are now quite a large number, can benefit from assistance that would have been unimaginable just a couple of years ago... In port, the last three days were devoted to final preparations for the multihulls and, of course, victualing - fresh supplies are only taken on board the day before. This is also the day for cleaning fruit with water - it is then hung in well-ventilated nets. Sunday November 24: only a few clouds on the sky and an absence of wind... a trickle of south-easterly air decided to settle over the start line. The whole multihull fleet was ready to set out across the Atlantic, with the exception of one of the Outremer 55s, which had a few technical issues - fortunately, it was able to be hauled out thanks to the brand-new 850-ton travelift, inaugurated just a week previously. At the start, it was Mark and Penny Belcher’s Lagoon 400 Two Hoots (UK) that crossed the line first, followed by Kenneth Frantz’s Elba 45 My Cherie Amour (USA) and Francesco Rongoni’s Neel 47 trimaran Ferdinand (FR). Then, as if by magic, the wind shifted to the northeast and began to strengthen: the trade winds at last! On the deck of the Spanish warship traditionally chartered as a committee boat for the start of the event, Paul Tetlow, the new director of the ARC, didn’t hide his relief as soon as the final start was made: just 5 days ago, the weather forecasts were predicting a strong southerly flow which would have compromised the start - to the point where a three-day delay was even being considered. ► 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!

Today we took the apprentices on a day out to visit The Sutton Hoo ship replica, an Anglo-Saxon ship which was buried in the 7th century and is now being replicated thanks to the amazingly talented restorers at The Sutton Hoo Ship Company in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Massive thank you to our tour guide Billy for showing us around and educating us on the great work and history of The Sutton Hoo ship! @suttonhooship - - - #thesuttonhooshipcompany #suttonhoo #boats #boatrestoration #historicalrestoration #englishheritage #anglosaxon #anglosaxonship #shipreplica #pioneersailingtrust
