► 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!

It was a spectacle that left the City of Livorno and even the Benetti Shipyard itself open-mouthed. Everyone there was amazed, bewitched and most importantly proud as they admired a stirring and unquestionably unique parade they are unlikely to ever see again. The three magnificent yachts, while preparing to cross the Atlantic on their way to the USA, showed themselves off in all their imposing and timeless beauty: mega yachts “Spectre” (69 meters long), “Seasense” (67 meters) and “11.11” (63 meters) paraded together in the waters off the Livorno Shipyard, inviting everyone to look out to sea and reflect on the result of long, impassioned and meticulous teamwork. It is a result the Shipyard decided to share with its co-citizens, who were captivated by this amazing sight and proud to be able to contribute in some way to it. The three exclusive models, representing an example of style admired the world over, enchanted and amazed everyone who had made a special trip or happened to be there by chance, and who are sure to treasure the emotions aroused by the three mega yachts for many years to come. There were also a few tears of disbelief and emotion to be seen on the faces of several shipyard workers who had contributed to these projects, and seen the fruits of their labour take shape day by day. The three magnificant works of art are tailor-made to satisfy the desires and represent the passions of their demanding, perfectionist owners; as well as embodying the dreams of every sea and yacht lover.
