POV: how life sounds when I start to focus on the simple things… The wind in the sails. Waves against the hull. Sun on my face. For me, that’s freedom — and it’s all I really need. 🌊⚓️

► 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!

The Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 is the largest yacht Beneteau has ever built, showcasing meticulous design and thoughtful engineering throughout. 🤩 One standout feature is its high-low hydraulic bathing platform, which has a lifting capacity of up to 400 kg, making it ideal for accommodating a jet rib. As the platform lowers, integrated stairs unfold to create a safe, comfortable path directly into the water, while maintaining a convenient walkway along the back of the yacht. This setup also doubles as a relaxing seating area, perfect for enjoying scenic views. 🧘‍♀️ Additionally, the Grand Trawler 62 is designed with a sleek glass transom, allowing you to face outward and take in your surroundings, rather than just facing inward towards the deck. This configuration combines practicality with an elegant, open experience, making it a functional yet stylish option for extensive cruising. Stay tuned for upcoming posts to uncover all the charms of the Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 or learn more now at masteryachting.com 👩‍💻 #Beneteau #MasterYachting #GrandTrawler62 #YachtingWorld #MasterYachtingGroup #BeneteauMotor
