A drone above the altantic. To undertake the crewed around-the-world record is as much about the human adventure as it is a technical and sporting challenge. The men and women working alongside Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard at Spindrift racing have been preparing this race against the clock for almost three years. The target: to sail around the world in less than 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. The tough record they will try to beat was set by Loïck Peyron and his crew in 2012 on Banque Populaire V, which was renamed Spindrift 2 a year later. The French-Swiss team decided to use the same 40 m trimaran because they believed that the boat could be further optimised, a task that sailors, engineers and technicians at the team have been working on ever since. After countless hours of work at the boatyard and 40,000 nautical miles of racing and training, the Spindrift racing-prepared trimaran is all set to go. The team will officially go on stand-by on October 19th and wait for the ideal weather window.

This is Part 2 of my countdown of the Top Luxury Catamarans in the British Virgin Islands. At #3, Twin Flame 77, a Lagoon 77 with a crew that’s been together over 4 years — rare in the BVI — and loved by repeat guests. She’s $88,000 for 8 guests per week. At #2, Alias 77, another Lagoon flagship and my personal favorite. She’s won 4 awards at Virgin Islands yacht shows and carries the biggest collection of water toys I’ve seen — e-foils, sea bobs, an inflatable Hobie Cat, and even a beach deck. Priced at $90,000 for 8 guests per week, she still has availability in March, April, and May.

Cracked welds near the helm? Not something you want to mess with... We've finally tackled this critical repair on our Lagoon 42 sailing catamaran here in New Zealand! Reinforced and ready for safer sailing — this is just the beginning of our full refit series. More boat work coming soon!
