Sono un po’ di giorni che guardiamo il meteo e lo lasciamo lì. Siamo stati fermi in una rada a nord di Guadalupa per far sfogare il mare: onde di tre metri e venti tesi sferzavano sopravento all’isola. Così abbiamo preferito lavorare tranquilli e prenderci il nostro tempo. Questa mattina ci svegliamo, aggiorniamo il meteo e vediamo una finestra. Ora o (quasi) mai più. Partiamo. Via la cima di prua dal gavitello e via. Il mare ci presenta onde al traverso, figlie della mareggiata dei giorni scorsi (da noi in Mediterraneo la definiamo onda morta, chissà se vale anche per l’oceano). Apriamo il Genoa e solo lui, visto che la situazione meteo non è stabile e gestirci in due l’ammainare una randa sotto groppo non è super gestibile. Julia Comunque si sgroppa di dosso le alghe formatesi in questi giorni e corre tra i 7 e gli 8 nodi verso Antigua. Corriamo sotto il sole, sperando che non se ne vada prima del nostro ormeggio. Anche fosse, poco importerebbe, ma la luce rende comunque tutto più semplice. A domani! Andrea

► While the world’s largest indoor boat show remains a must-see event, with an exhibition area of 220,000 m² (just short of 55 acres) and 214,000 visitors (compared to 237,000 in 2023) from all over Europe and even much further afield, with some 120 nationalities represented – the 2024 edition will be remembered as a return to normality following two years of post-Covid euphoria. Some players are even nervous about the damage caused by inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties. For us, this 2024 boot vintage was most notably all a missed appointment for the multihull sailboat industry. Apart from a few sport catamarans and beach toys, only the Tricat 6.90 made the trip from Brittany to be displayed in hall 15, traditionally reserved for multihulls. With the exception of the Excess stand and the more or less consistent representations of a few builders (Fareast, Fountaine Pajot, Gunboat, McConaghy, Nautiks, Nautitech, NEEL Trimarans, Windelo...), the builders were clearly boycotting boot this year, making the ‘multihull village’ a deserted place. The absence of Lagoon, by far the world leader in the sector, is obviously highly symbolic. As for powercats, the atmosphere was a little less bleak, with the presence of the Prestige M48 and the YOT36. The Dragonfly 32 and 40 were be presented in Hall 16, alongside the monohulls. This is a long-standing incursion by the Danish shipyard, with Hall 15 only a few yards away... So, it’s presumably time to talk about the subject that’s causing a stir: if multihull builders no longer come to Düsseldorf, it’s because they don’t feel they get much consideration there, even though they have become the driving force of the boating sector. Faced with a somewhat old-fashioned vision, the multihull builders are unashamedly claiming the heart of the famous Hall 16, even if it means upsetting the establishment... we are witnessing a kind of war of the worlds, that of the old and its traditional teak-capped monohulls against the modern and its yachts built for living aboard – on two or three hulls. But whoever said that the history of boating was a bed of roses? ► 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!
