Spindrift racing - North Atlantic Record - Teaser - Sailing

Newport, one of the capitals of the sailing world, has welcomed a new giant. After eight days of a highly instructive delivery from La Trinité-sur-Mer (France), the maxi-trimaran, Spindrift 2, arrived in the famous harbour in Rhode Island on Tuesday late afternoon. Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard and the crew are now entering the critical phase of weather watching and waiting for the right window to launch their attempt on the crewed North Atlantic record between New York and Lizard Point (England). With a time to beat of 3 days, 15 hours and 25 minutes (at an average of 32.94 knots), the challenge is a daunting one and needs optimal sailing conditions. If weather permits, the team will also go for the 'Zenith by Spindrift racing 24-hour record' with the aim of improving the impressive existing record of 908 miles, a distance equivalent to two Marseille-Carthage (Tunisia) crossings in 24 hours.
