► 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!

Asking $225,000. This is one not to miss. The outstanding performance and sea handling of the classic Powercat 3000, this one presenting basically as new with new 200hp Suzuki’s (still under warranty) custom full-length hard top, full Plexiglass front panel, wrap-around clears (new 2024). This fine example of one of Powercat’s favourite designs has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded/customised. The 3000’s have a remarkable pedigree regarding performance. The AMIF award winner for its class and hailed as “one of the smoothest rough water rides you could experience… extremely capable in rough seas with exceptional stability dead in the water.” The 3000 is also one of, if not the biggest towable power catamarans out there (if you’ve got the tow-rig). The hull is built to USL code survey as standard, constructed of solid glass. Each sponson has seven sealed and water-tight bulkheads. The current owner has customised this vessel by having the stylish hard top custom made. Full length, grab rails down each side, and two lift-up hatches for increased ventilation. This is matched with a plexiglass front panel (no join/zips in the line-of-sight). Visibility from the helm is now second to none. The Powercat 3000 offers a spacious cockpit with rear lounge and table, which can convert into a bed if required. Forward, the central island includes cooktop, fridge, sink and plenty of storage space. The cabin in the bow features a great queen berth, and toilet tucked away. Having just returned from a routine service with Powercat Marine, she is now ready to go. Don’t miss out, come and see for yourself just how immaculate this PC3000 is. Note: a custom air-berth made for this PC3000 or similar is available at extra cost. Located in Cleveland, Brisbane.
