Fastest family catamaran across the Atlantic! 3,000 miles in 11 days - in perfect comfort

[@vermili0n]

young at heart living a long happy life... I hope to accomplish this one day

[@CraigOverend]

A smaller TS42 also came in 5th, and a small Pogo 36 did very well in the ARC+ against much larger boats.

[@MrZrryan2]

a crew of FOUR actually took a cruising yacht, with a full galley and cruising interior, into a race across the ocean and they BEAT a volvo 65. THAT"S AWESOME !!! Put that shit on the brochure !!

[@tincoffin]

I suggest you look at the track of the Volvo 65 Sisi in the 2019 results in the Fleet Viewer of the ARC website . It sailed a very odd course. You have to zoom in. That said it is a remarkable crossing by the catamaran .

[@billbogg3857]

@Pierre Benetton Always a good guess with yachts is that it is a Benetton perhaps you could ask them :)

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Why compare Catamaran vs Monohull? It is funny how people think that 4 person amateurs can beat a monohull record. 2 different design being compared is ridicilous.

[@FranFerioli]

I've been on a Marsaudon TS5 a couple of years back. It is definitely fast: feels more like an hydroplane than a sailboat.

[@79tazman]

Man I would love LOVE to cross the Atlantic on a boat any kind of boat it don't bother me but sailing would be darn cool to do maybe someday I will do it

[@RiggingDoctor]

79tazman you should check out our channel, we crossed West to East last year and are now in the Mediterranean. Next year we cross back to the Caribbean 😎 It’s nice out there!

[@SailingLifeonJupiter]

Very nice performance catamaran. Gotta have those skinny hulls and daggerboards. So many cats these days are just floating apartments, and don't go any better than a mono.

[@mbchudno]

of cause they do. nothing wrong with sailing appartment that can go 7-10 knots. to each his own. i think TS5 is a racing boat. It looks fun but not something you can stick a family of 4-5 people in comfortably while enjoying ability of travel and stay sane.

[@angela1984a]

[@arumrunner]

What's the Rhum payload capacity?

[@RiggingDoctor]

Took us 26 days to sail from Bermuda to the Azores, averaging 3.5 knots 😂 We are planning 40 days for our return voyage next year. If you race across the ocean, you don’t get to spend all those wonderful nights under the stars! 😉

[@adtatatumtemporis7111]

No worries, they can still slow down anytime should they realize that the weather is awesome and the sky/water amazing... Even if you were travelling your entire life you wouldn't be able to explore more than 20% of earth's treasures, drastically less than 20% if at 3.5 knots, so speed buys time and time buys more amazing experiences 🌍 Cruising at an average of 3.5 statistically puts you in a situation where you can get caught by all kind of sailing conditions: the worst or the best. It's not an advantage, its just a consequence of the speed configuration that can quickly turn into a nightmare if the weather conditions go against you. At 3.5 average, even if you manage to push a higher speed on a spot period with the help of the engines, you're increasing luck's stake in your sailing equation. There are very few sailors that would willingly put themselves at the mercy of luck...

[@DB-hy9wl]

Even when going fast you can enjo'y the sail... 10+ knots on such a boat is very smooth, at least downwind.

@David Miorgan marsaudon ts5

[@Andy-99.]

11 days = 11 x 24 hours + 16 hours = 280 hours 3,000 (nautical) miles / 280 hours = 10.7 kn average. Otherwise 3.000 Miles x 0,868976 = 2.607 nautical Miles = 9.3 Kn average - Or did I calculate wrong?

[@lilprince11340]

You are right, either it was 3500 nautical miles or they made a mistake with the speed. Boat is still bloody fast

[@jeremyrowley1240]

It is 3000 miles across, but you can't sail directly towards the destination. If you sailed directly there you would actually sail into a windless hole in the middle of the Atlantic, so you have to follow the trade winds which take you down to the Cape Verde's and then across. Therefore the speed as calculated using the actual distance logged (sailed) by the boat.

[@solstar4778]

That is fast 👍

[@handsfree1000]

Now that’s more like it. Fun and excitement. How does it fair in a storm?

[@angela1984a]

It seems to me that the trick with this boat is that it's able to avoid storms - in combination with modern weather prediction software of course.

Why did Allegra retire?

[@Ringele5574]

I'm assuming this is not an off the shelf cruising catamaran, and that there were extensive modifications to mast, rigging, and sails?

Well, off the shelf with carbon, rotating mast; carbon reinforced hull,...

[@DougBrennanWgtn]

Now if they got a racing guy on there like me yeee haaa

[@gerritgovaerts8443]

Looks like they even did not take the shortest route but preferred to take the safer onger one that passes close to the Cape verdes . They could have shaved a day off me thinks

[@jeremyrowley1240]

It is necessary to follow the NE Trade Winds. If you sail straight across you end up in a windless hole in the middle of the Atlantic. It can be done but much slower due to lack of wind.

[@vincent5]

Wich cat is that??

[@DB-hy9wl]

Either it is 3500 nm at 12.5 knots average, if it is a 3000 nm sail it makes 10.7 kn average. Not bad either.

Strange to have a tiller and not a wheel on 50+ footer. Imoca Style

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

Some people prefer a tiller over a wheel they feel more connected to the boat and I think there is more feel for what the boat is doing. Can you tell I prefer tiller steering over wheel..

[@pedroforonda]

3000 divided by (11x24+16) = I don’t know but I don’t get 12.5. The 3000 ... are they nautical miles or statute miles?

Comparing Catamaran versus Monohull is just ridicilous.

[@thehurricane218]

Once you go multihull you never go back.

[@agradina]

U can go back to a 110 foot supertacht anytime

[@jeremyrowley1240]

This is true. The Carribean is full of wrecked catamarans because they can't be sailed back to Europe, and then they get caught by the hurricanes. See the Sailing Parley channel.

[@conradsenior5843]

The untold lesson is when you go really fast, your kinetic energy is dangerous. hence to loss of the vessel and one crew.

[@angela1984a]

Another untold lesson is that you don't have to go faster than ~9-10 knots. All sailing vessels can be reefed down... The advantage of performance multihulls is that they can sail in light wind conditions when other boats will either have to burn diesel or will just bob around. And often sailing a performance multihull in those light wind conditions is rather pleasant...

@g33k0-83 ⛵️ Regis Guillemot's HALLUCINE catamaran capsizes off Vigo, one dead and three rescued. 😱 English translation from original French text at #voilesetvoiliers HALLUCINE, the TS5 catamaran of the French yachtsman Régis Guillemot capsized Friday evening off Vigo (Spain), after having collided with an UFO. Four people were on board. One of the team members died, his body was found. Régis Guillemot and the other two crew members were rescued by a freighter which dropped them off in the Azores. Régis Guillemot's HALLUCINE catamaran capsized at around 10 p.m. on Friday in the north-west of Vigo (Spain) after hitting an UFO (unidentified floating object). A man is missing, the team mate who was on watch outside. The other two crew members and the skipper Régis Guillemot were saved by a freighter. HALLUCINE had sailed from the Gulf of Morbihan and was heading for the Canaries, before crossing the Atlantic to the West Indies when the collision occurred. Skilled sailor, Régis Guillemot has raced numerous offshore races (winner of the Route du Rhum 2002 in his category). He is also the founder of Régis Guillemot Charter, a charter and sailboat cruise company based in Marin in Martinique, a company he had recently sold. Régis Guillemot is finally the cousin of another great sailor: Marc Guillemot (3rd in the Vendée Globe 2008), who is also his relay on land and to whom he reported the accident. “They don't understand what happened, they're in shock. The navigation was calm and the TS5 is a very safe, very seaworthy boat. There was a little sea but no more than 16 to 20 knots of wind and they were sailing peacefully, under-canvas, with two reefs in the mainsail before the collision. They don't know what they hit, maybe a container, ”explains Marc Guillemot. He continues: "the person on watch outside was taken away, his body was found 36 hours later". Régis Guillemot and his two other friends - who were inside at the time of the collision - were able to alert the emergency services. They were eventually picked up by a freighter after taking place in their liferaft. This freighter dropped them off in the Azores today, Tuesday 10 November 2020. “Régis told me that when they were picked up by the freighter, HALLUCINE was full of water in its rear part, the bows were pointing upwards and there was carbon debris. I informed the Vendée Globe race director of the presence of the overturned boat since the fleet was passing fairly close to the sinking area, "said Marc Guillemot.

It is very impressive but it is not typical. I think that if you look at all ARC crossings over the years then you will find that multihulls are no faster than monohulls. Loaded up in the hands of inexpert crews they have to throttle back. They do have considrable advantages with one very great disadvantage - they may capsize.

[@tincoffin]

@David Miorgan Look at the ARC results

[@lolni8218]

Familly? Non... Bien pour regatter ou traverser.... Mais pas pour un tour du monde... Pas assez de capacité de charge et pas assez d'autonomie. Un Neel 47 fait tout aussi bien tout en proposant un confort 10x meilleur.

Install Oceanvolt electric engines on an OCR 50 and you can recharge 6kw at 15 knots of speed. Infinite autonomy effectively. A Neel is a badly built obese trimaran. At least go for a Rapido if you want to compare the OCR to anything tri wise.
