Thirty hours into the 74th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the four 100-ft Maxis at the front of the fleet were separated by a mere five-nautical miles with a little under 200-nautical miles still to complete. A close contest between the race leaders has ensued ever since yesterday’s memorable Sydney Harbour start. Although the race record is unlikely to be challenged, an exciting finale down the Derwent River into Hobart is forecast. There had been four retirements and the majority of the 81-strong fleet were negotiating the Bass Strait. Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.

We torn the outside protective covering on the Jib and we also broke one of the davits for the Dinghy... Real life issues while cruising.

► See the test in our upcoming Power Special Edition #23! ► Unveiled at its world premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the Aquila 50 Yacht is positioned between the 42 and the 54 - not forgetting the 44, which will remain in the catalog for the time being. The new design features a break in the deck line - the forward two-fifths are clearly taller. In addition to creating a new visual signature for the brand, this elevation allows the forward sections of the catamaran to be better defended, while offering XXL volume to the forward owner’s cabin – this, in fact, occupies the entire available beam. As part of a complete restructuring of the Aquila Power Catamarans distribution network, the 50 is already eyeing up the European market with an understated interior design that we find very successful. ► 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!
