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 time, we’ll be talking about the Lagoon 51 and its fantastic features without stepping into the interior spaces, like the salon and cabins. 🤌 First up is the easy-access transom, transforming the whole area into a real terrace on the sea. When people are on board, one of their favorite spots is as close to the ocean as possible, making this hydraulic platform the perfect place to relax by the water. 🧘‍♀️ Moving into the cockpit, we only have two steps, allowing for a seamless flow through this social and functional space. The cockpit is always the focal point of all activities on board, and beneath each seat, there’s plenty of storage space. Finally, we head up to the flybridge — the most exciting new feature on this boat! Lagoon designers focused on making this area even more social, adding a new dimension with additional spaces. If you're interested in learning more about this model, visit our website for additional details or reach out to us via email at office@masteryachting.com. #Lagoon #Lagoon51 #MasterYachting #YachtingWorld #MasterYachtingGroup #Catamaran

When I started this vlog I wanted it to be a no frills, good and bad insight into transforming from life on the land to life at sea. I know that to get likes and support people are looking for pretty entertainment, but that’s not what I’m here for. I thought twice today about posting this because it’s boring and I am a bit down, but you know that actually is what life is sometimes so here it is.
