► Discover our full article on our website: https://www.multihulls-world.com/news-catamaran-trimaran/arc-2024-almost-3000-nautical-miles-ahead-of-them ► The success of blue water cruising rallies is undeniable, and in this field, the World Cruising Club hosts the biggest, with no fewer than 234 yachts registered for the ARC+ and the ARC combined. We were in Las Palmas for the start of the ARC. The first thing we noticed on the marina pontoons was the growing number of multihulls: there were 33 in 2021, 37 in 2022, 44 last year and 45 this year, out of the 140 boats registered for the start. This brings the number of two and three-hulled yachts taking part to 32% - compared with 28% in 2023, when 156 yachts were entered. The most represented multihull brand this year is Fountaine Pajot with 8 examples, followed by Outremer and Lagoon - with 7 and 5 catamarans respectively. More generally, these transatlantic rallies are always well attended, even if the edition we’re following this year shows a slight decline in favor of the ARC+. Launched in 2013, this rally leaves Las Palmas two weeks ahead of the ARC and includes a stopover in Cape Verde, which seems to be very popular before reaching Granada. The “traditional” ARC, meanwhile, is celebrating its 39th edition and has always set off from Las Palmas. The finish line is in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia. It’s interesting to note that the format proposed by the organizers, which incorporates safety checks, training modules and comprehensive checks, has become even safer with the advent of satellite internet – thanks to Starlink. Crews with little or no experience of ocean sailing, of which there are now quite a large number, can benefit from assistance that would have been unimaginable just a couple of years ago... In port, the last three days were devoted to final preparations for the multihulls and, of course, victualing - fresh supplies are only taken on board the day before. This is also the day for cleaning fruit with water - it is then hung in well-ventilated nets. Sunday November 24: only a few clouds on the sky and an absence of wind... a trickle of south-easterly air decided to settle over the start line. The whole multihull fleet was ready to set out across the Atlantic, with the exception of one of the Outremer 55s, which had a few technical issues - fortunately, it was able to be hauled out thanks to the brand-new 850-ton travelift, inaugurated just a week previously. At the start, it was Mark and Penny Belcher’s Lagoon 400 Two Hoots (UK) that crossed the line first, followed by Kenneth Frantz’s Elba 45 My Cherie Amour (USA) and Francesco Rongoni’s Neel 47 trimaran Ferdinand (FR). Then, as if by magic, the wind shifted to the northeast and began to strengthen: the trade winds at last! On the deck of the Spanish warship traditionally chartered as a committee boat for the start of the event, Paul Tetlow, the new director of the ARC, didn’t hide his relief as soon as the final start was made: just 5 days ago, the weather forecasts were predicting a strong southerly flow which would have compromised the start - to the point where a three-day delay was even being considered. ► 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!

“Boris Herrmann - Das Rennen” - jetzt in der ARD Mediathek Die von Beetz Brothers und der ARD produzierte Dokumentation „Boris Herrmann – Segeln am Limit“ erschien pünktlich zum Start der Vendée Globe und fesselte über zwei Millionen Zuschauer. Jetzt hat Boris Herrmann die Regatta erfolgreich beendet – am 29. Januar 2025 überquerte er die Ziellinie. Doch für ihn ging es ab dem Start nicht nur um eine gute Platzierung, sondern um eine viel größere Mission: den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Wie diese Herausforderung die Rennen und die Arbeit von Team Malizia prägt, zeigt „Boris Herrmann – Das Rennen“. Dieser zweite Teil der Dokumentation lief gestern im Ersten und ist ab sofort in der ARD Mediathek abrufbar. In zweieinhalb Monaten umrundet Boris Herrmann bei der Vendée Globe den Globus – allein auf seinem Segelboot. Er kämpft mit Extremwetter und Blitzeinschlag, Höhenangst und Einsamkeit – und immer wieder geht etwas an seinem Boot kaputt, was potenziell das Aus für ihn sein könnte. Doch Boris Herrmann sagt von sich, bei der Vendée Globe segele er eigentlich zwei Rennen: Neben dem Ringen um die sportliche Platzierung ist es für ihn auch ein Rennen gegen den Klimawandel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Our Team On Social Media: ⬇️ Instagram Team Malizia: https://www.instagram.com/team_malizia/ Instagram Boris Herrmann: https://www.instagram.com/borisherrmannracing/ Facebook Team Malizia: https://www.facebook.com/teammalizia/ Facebook Boris Herrmann Racing: https://www.facebook.com/borisherrmannracing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@team_malizia LinkedIn Boris Herrmann: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boris-herrmann/ LinkedIn Team Malizia: https://www.linkedin.com/company/14832074 #borisherrmann #teammalizia #VendéeGlobe #imoca #imocaglobeseries #offshoresailing #sailing #racing #aracewemustwin #climateactionnow

We love to go sail our boat, so even when we're in Catalina Island secure at a mooring, we still like to drop the mooring from time to time and go for a sail! Especially on evenings as beautiful as this one.
