► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► 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!

Finding Serenity: A Sailing Journey Through Croatia's Azure Paradise Imagine this: the gentle caress of the sun on your skin, the rhythmic lap of crystal-clear waves against the hull of your sailboat, and the endless expanse of the Adriatic Sea stretching before you. This is the magic of sailing in Croatia, a place where relaxation and breathtaking beauty intertwine for an unforgettable experience. Croatia's coastline is a treasure trove of hidden coves, quaint island villages, and dramatic cliffs that plunge into the turquoise depths. Sailing allows you to unlock these gems at your own pace, drifting from one idyllic spot to the next. Forget the rigid itineraries and crowded beaches – here, time slows down, and the rhythm of the sea dictates your day. One day, you might find yourself anchored in a secluded bay, the only sound the chirping of crickets and the splash of fish jumping. Dive into the cool, refreshing water, and let the gentle current lull you into a state of complete tranquility. As the afternoon sun dips towards the horizon, paint the sky in fiery hues, prepare a simple meal of fresh seafood and local wine on deck, and savor the moment. The next day, the wind might pick up, and your sailboat transforms into a graceful dancer on the waves. Feel the exhilaration as you learn the ropes (literally!), work together with your crew, and harness the power of nature to propel you forward. The thrill of sailing is an experience unlike any other, a perfect blend of physical activity and mental liberation. Croatia's islands are a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Hvar, known as Croatia's answer to Saint Tropez, offers charming towns, vibrant nightlife, and pristine beaches. Brač boasts Zlatni Rat, a unique beach where the pebble shore juts out into the sea like a golden tongue. Korčula, with its medieval ramparts and vineyards, transports you back in time. Each island has its own distinct personality, offering something for every traveler. But sailing in Croatia is more than just the destinations. It's about the journey itself. It's about stargazing on a clear night, the Milky Way splashed across the inky black canvas of the sky. It's about spotting playful dolphins leaping alongside your boat. It's about the camaraderie that forms as you share stories and laughter with your fellow sailors. So, if you're seeking an escape from the everyday, a chance to truly unwind and reconnect with nature, then set sail for Croatia. Let the gentle winds, the sparkling sea, and the timeless beauty of the Adriatic wash away your worries and leave you feeling utterly serene.

What makes a sailing ship a yacht? “The attention paid to every detail and the remarkable result of it all,” says Damien Jacob, product director for sailboats at Groupe Beneteau. That's why the designers Roberto Biscontini and Lorenzo Argento, made no concessions when designing the new Oceanis Yacht 60. A subtle interplay of proportions and gentle inverted transparency create the kind of space you typically find on a 62-foot boat, while maintaining an elegant design and excellent seaworthiness. These unique features result in a true blue water yacht that offers excellent performance.
