Project manager, François Boucher, announced that the 100’ Finot-Conq design built in carbon/nomex at Maxi Dolphin left the yard on a truck and on a barge to reach Venetia where this
beautiful boat will be stepped with a mast from Lorima and launched mid July.

Multihull: Peter Aschenbrenner, skipper – Paradox

“The boat is really built for ocean passages and ocean sailing, so we feel very much at home when the wind gets up in solid trade-wind conditions, like 20 plus knots and big waves. The boat acts really nicely and goes really fast. I think we are more comfortable at the high end of the range while some of the smaller boats struggle a little more. It is really the luck of the draw, because last year was lighter. The trades are pretty consistent, though, so if you come down and do a few events you will get some great sailing.

“We would like to see more multihulls; it is the perfect place to sail multihulls! These boats can be a little wet when they are powered up, but then the air and water are warm. We would like to get some more fast trimarans; it is a separate breed.”
