► 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!

Ogni bella storia presenta un dramma. Il dramma sta alla base di ogni avventura. Non esisterebbero eroi senza problemi da risolvere. Per noi quel momento è rappresentato da un pontile spigoloso e potenzialmente molto dannoso. È mai possibile che navighiamo ovunque senza fare un graffio alla barca e appena prima del ritorno rompiamo tutto? Siamo parecchio attivati. Ed è un peccato, perché questo ormeggio è veramente riparato dal vento che questa settimana punta a sradicare l’Italia intera. Perciò scriviamo, telefoniamo, chiediamo aiuto a tutti. Nessuno può aiutarci perché nessuno ha parabordi da condividere. Quando ormai siamo rassegnati a piantare le tende in prossimità dei parabordi e a sistemarli al passaggio di ogni traghetto (che avviene molto frequentemente a proposito) compaiono Angelica e Fabio, due ragazzi di qui che hanno ricevuto il nostro SOS e si sono attivati subito. Che grandi! Pensate che i parabordi che ci portano non sono nemmeno di loro proprietà! Cioè noi così 🥹 Con tutto un altro umore proseguiamo con le lavorazioni del giorno, che finiscono molto tardi. Veniamo piacevolmente interrotti da Fra e Benni che ci fanno assaggiare i nodini, mozzarelline locali molto buone, poi scappano a cena e noi scappiamo al pc. Stasera lavoro al libro, che prende forma giorno dopo giorno. In mio aiuto vengono i reel del giorno, che raccontano pedissequamente i passaggi di questa avventura. Non vedo l’ora che possiate ripercorrerla insieme a noi attraverso le pagine del libro. Che sarà interattivo ve l’avevamo già detto? 🤐 A domani! C.
