Pier Luigi Loro Piana's Supermaxi My Song finished the 2018 RORC Transatlantic Race on Tuesday 04 December 2018 at 17:47:11 UTC, taking Monohull Line Honours. The Baltic 130, owned by Pier Luigi Loro Piana, a member of the International Maxi Association (IMA), has also set a new Monohull Race Record after completing the 3,000 mile race between Lanzarote and Grenada in an elapsed time of 10 days 5 hrs 47 mins 11 secs, shaving 1hr 19mins 48 secs off the previous race record set in 2015 race by Jean-Paul Riviere's French Finot-Conq 100, Nomad IV. “I feel very happy to come to Grenada but it is too close to Lanzarote, we were enjoying crossing the Atlantic so much, racing My Song at 20 knots was amazing. I am very happy.” commented Pier Luigi Loro Piana. “A little bit of rain at the end was fine but we hope Grenada will show us some more sunshine.” Pier Luigi had a message for his fellow members of the International Maxi Association. “They have to continue cruising and racing if they want to enjoy sailing."
