► 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!

There’s always an intriguing find on every dive, especially when you dive around the #reefs of the #CoralTriangle in #Komodo and #RajaAmpat. The coral reefs are home to many different animals, and they all live together in harmony. #Fish of all colors, shapes, and sizes swim around like living jewels. #Seaturtles move gracefully through the water, and octopuses hide by changing their appearance to match their surroundings. But there's more to it. Even the tiniest creatures, too small to see, are vital to this underwater ecosystem. Sponges, soft corals, and #anemones provide homes and food for many other animals, like #crabs and snails. Every time you go diving on a coral reef, you can discover something new. It reminds us how important it is to take care of these amazing places, so they can continue to astound us and be home to all these wonderful creatures for a long time. So, please don’t touch them as the corals can break easily and they take a very long time to grow back. Do you want to journey with us on an exciting adventure to some stunning dive sites and see the wonders that Raja Ampat & Komodo have to offer?
