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.

We’re heading out at night to get to our next destination by morning. There is something magical about sailing at night. The darkness envelops everything around you, and the only light comes from the stars above and the moon reflecting off the water. The gentle sound of the waves lapping against the boat and the sails periodically luffing create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. As you sail into the unknown, there is a sense of adventure and excitement. You never know what lies ahead, but you trust in your skills and the boat to guide you safely through the darkness. It's a feeling of freedom and liberation, leaving behind the worries and stresses of everyday life and embracing the mystery of the open sea. The beauty of sailing at night is not just in the scenery but in the experience. It's a time for introspection and reflection, a chance to disconnect from technology and connect with nature. The darkness allows you to see the stars in all their glory, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. Facing the unknown can be scary, but it can also be exhilarating. Sailing at night is a perfect metaphor for life itself, full of unexpected twists and turns. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, to face our fears head-on and overcome them. It's a reminder that even in the darkness, there is beauty and wonder to be found. Sailing at night is a truly unique experience that allows us to disconnect from the world and connect with nature. It's a time for introspection and reflection, a chance to face the unknown and embrace its beauty. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, and to find the courage to navigate through life's challenges. So, next time you have the chance to sail at night, don't hesitate to embrace the mystery and let the beauty of the unknown guide you. #sailingexperience #sailingadventure #sailinglife
