Antigua. Mancano 24 ore alla regata e una spettacolare flotta di 75 barche è pronta per la 13a edizione della RORC Caribbean 600, promossa dal Royal Ocean Racing Club. Nella sequenza dello start da Fort Charlotte, Antigua, il regolamento prevede che la classe MOCRA parta per ultima, a mezz’ora di distanza dal primo gruppo. L’appuntamento sulla linea per i multiscafi è quindi fissato per domani, lunedì 21 febbraio, alle 11:30 ora locale (15:30 UTC, 16:30 ora italiana). Giovanni Soldini, insieme all’equipaggio di Maserati Multi70, sfiderà in assetto volante altri 7 multiscafi, tra cui i diretti rivali: l’inglese PowerPlay di Peter Cunningham, capitanato da Ned Collier Wakefield, che vede a bordo il leggendario navigatore francese Loick Peyron; e l’americano Argo di Jason Carroll con Brian Thompson. Antoine Rabaste e Jacek Siwek parteciperanno con il Maxi Multi Ultim Emotion 2 di 80 piedi. La regata, veloce e tattica, fitta di manovre e rapidi cambi di direzione di venti e correnti, si sviluppa lungo un percorso di 600 miglia che da Antigua si dirige a nord, ruota attorno a Barbuda, Nevis, Saba e Saint Barth, doppia l’isola di Saint Martin e fa rotta a sud per girare Guadalupa, puntare l’ultima boa al largo di Barbuda, e così tornare ad Antigua. I multiscafi navigheranno con un occhio al record di velocità della regata, fissato nel 2019 proprio da Giovanni Soldini che a bordo di Maserati Multi70 ha tagliato il traguardo con un tempo di 1 giorno, 6 ore e 49 minuti. Per infrangere il primato, uno dei trimarani in competizione dovrà finire la gara prima delle 22:19 UTC di martedì 22 febbraio. Le previsioni meteo indicano un Aliseo non troppo forte e abbastanza stabile intorno ai 13/14 nodi, con alcuni passaggi, in particolare martedì mattina sottovento a Guadalupa, e martedì notte a sud di Guadalupa, in cui potrebbero verificarsi cali importanti. “Sono sicuro che sarà una regata combattutissima” commenta Giovanni Soldini, “PowerPlay e Argo sono due team di altissimo livello e le barche sono molto simili. Noi siamo pronti, ne vedremo delle belle”. Maserati Multi70 partecipa alla RORC Caribbean 600 per la quarta volta dopo aver corso le edizioni del 2017, 2019 e 2020. In questa regata, Giovanni Soldini sarà accompagnato da un equipaggio di 7 velisti. Torna a bordo Guido Broggi e, al team che qualche settimana fa ha vinto la RORC Transatlantic Race, si aggiunge anche il navigatore francese Gwénolé Gahinet. #MaseratiMulti70 #Caribbean600 Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/

I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.

► While Sunreef now offers almost all its models in an Eco variant, it has to be said that multiyachts over 80 feet opting for a hybrid formula are few and far between. And yet here we are with the WiderCat 92, a futuristic powercat previewed at the Cannes Yachting Festival. On board, we were impressed by the natural lighting provided by imposing glazed surfaces on the sides of the nacelle. Another highlight of this huge multiyacht is its cockpit, which can be converted into a beach club using fold-down bulwarks. In the “enginerooms”, two 500 kW motors are powered by LiFePO4 batteries, guaranteeing a range of 27 miles at 6 knots. And there’s 1,615 square feet (150 m²) of solar panels to ensure energy self-sufficiency at anchor. The builder has just announced a new model, the WiderCat 76. ► Builder: Wider Yachts Architect: Wider Engineering Design: Luca Dini Design, Centro Stile Wider Length: 92’ (28.04 m) Beam: 39’4” (12 m) Draft: 4’11” (1.5 m) Displacement: 90 t Motors: 2 x 420 or 500 kW Batteries: 360 kWh Maximum speed: 15 knots Accommodation: 8 guests and 4 crew ► 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!
