DETAILS

One-off catamaran conceived on 2003 to beat the Dakar to Guadeloupe Atlantic record crossing. The Italians Andrea Gancia and Matteo Miceli lowered the mark from 15d 2h 26m down to 13d 13h 58m.

Built at Cantieri Navali d'Este in carbon/epoxy/pvc sandwich under vacuum she has multiple watertight compartments and crash-boxes at the bows which make the boat unsinkable. Racks on the sides instead of trapeze lines to increase righting moment and crew "comfort".

Very versatile sail plan, four reef mainsail, three lines of forestays, which allow the use of any size type of headsail depending on the weather conditions. Hydrodynamic CFD optimization for the hull lines. Structural FEA optimization for certain components.

In January 2007 Matteo Miceli smashes from 29 to 14 days the single handed record crossing from Gran Canaria to Guadeloupe. The catamaran was slightly modified for this navigation with a shorter mast.
