Before carbon fibre. Before GPS. Before “bluewater certified”. ▫️ One sailor trusted an idea so deeply that he risked everything to prove it. Not by debating. Not by spending millions. But by going to sea. ▫️ This is the story of James Wharram, and the voyage that changed how we think about catamarans forever. ▫️ If this story made you pause, we'd love to hear which part resonated. ▫️ 👉 Swipe to the end. ▫️ #CatamaranLife #OceanVoyage #SailingHistory #OffshoreSailing @WharramCatamarans
This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.
