NEW 24 HOURS SOLO SAIL RECORD: ALMOST 30K AVERAGE!!!!!

The incredible performance is from Thomas Coville on his new maxi trimaran (sodebo Ultime) that was built utilizing parts of old Geronimo trimaran: 714Nm in 24 hours on a beautiful and fast boat:
Coville is a great sailor that has been not lucky on the confrontation over the years with another great (probably even bigger) solo trimaran sailor, Francis Joyon. Now he finally got a big achievement. Here we can see Coville at his best, sailing his old and smaller trimaran on demanding conditions:

GETTING READY FOR THE VENDÉE!

The Vendee Globe (solo race around the world) is not far and solo sailors are trying hard to get reliability on their new foils. They have been given youth problems, the foils themselves and the boat structure so sailors are trying to test them on the worst conditions 2hile others bet on the reliability of sailing without the new foils...and we get excellent movies ;-)

ALMA'S LOG 2016: On the water!!!

This year it has been too much work on the boat. After about a month work finally it is in the water and almost ready to sail to the North of Greece (Sporades and Greece coast), Bosforo, Istanbul and maybe Black Sea. Some photos (after so much work I had to post them LOL):
