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.

Check out our latest video for the full story! In this week's video we share how we danced a sailing tango with the Mistral and went back and forth to try to get somewhere, anywhere at all on our Outremer 52 sailing catamaran. We get rain and 42 knot winds and visit lovely Port Grimaud and Saint-Tropez. ⚓ Join us as we learn what it takes to circumnavigate successfully and make the transition to liveaboard cruising. 🆓Our sailing channel is currently AD-FREE but there are other ways you can support our Outremer 52 project. 👍🏻 Like, subscribe, share our YouTube videos or check out our blog, podcast or social pages below ⭐️Check out our new catamaran sailing blog! https://sailingawen.com 🎧COVERTCASTAWAY PODCAST anywhere you listen or stream directly at https://sailingawen.com/podcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sailingawen/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/SailingAwen/ FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sailingawen/ 📧EMAIL US: sailingawen@gmail.com 🌎TRACK US at https://www.polarsteps.com/SailingAwen ⛵️AWEN will be featured at the MIAMI BOAT SHOW!

We are Holly and Stephane 🇺🇸🇫🇷 We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speedtest, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us, which is why we don’t monetize our channel.
