► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► 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!

Até onde vai o teu equilíbrio? - How far does your balance go? No delicado equilíbrio de minha existência, Uma corda tênue me convida à dança, A fita de slackline, estendida no ar, Desafia meu ser a caminhar. Sigo em passos incertos, em busca da paz, No meio do abismo, onde o medo se desfaz, Através dessa linha, eu me encontro em suspensão, Um ato de coragem, uma busca de evolução. A fita tensionada é mais do que um desafio, É um convite a transcender, a voar no vazio, Encontro meu centro, minha força interior, Enquanto me movo em equilíbrio com amor. Nessa jornada de altos e baixos, encontro serenidade, Aprendo a confiar na minha própria capacidade, A fita é meu guia, meu espelho no ar, Ela me mostra que posso ir além do meu lugar. Então pergunto a mim mesmo, até onde posso chegar? Até onde vai meu equilíbrio, meu desejo de voar? A resposta está na incerteza do caminho, Na coragem de seguir, mesmo quando sozinho. So, how far does your balance go? In the delicate equilibrium of my being, A tenuous rope invites me to dance, The slackline tape, stretched in the air, Challenges my being to walk. I move in uncertain steps, seeking peace, In the midst of the abyss, where fear dissipates, Through this line, I find myself suspended, An act of courage, a search for evolution. The tensioned tape is more than a challenge, It is an invitation to transcend, to soar in the void, I find my center, my inner strength, As I move in balance with love. In this journey of ups and downs, I find serenity, I learn to trust in my own ability, The tape is my guide, my reflection in the air, It shows me that I can go beyond my place. So I ask myself, how far can I go? How far does my balance, my desire to fly, extend? The answer lies in the uncertainty of the path, In the courage to continue, even when alone.
