SOLO SAILORS STORM ACROSS NORTH ATLANTIC
When the 100ft trimaran MACIF winged its way into New York the skipper, François Gabart, was jubilant and shattered. “My first solo race,” he said, grinning. “I didn’t know if I was able to do it, so I am really proud. The boat is in good shape. Me? Maybe not.” Gabart’s race from Plymouth in 8d 8h was just twenty five minutes shy of The Transat record, but that wasn’t important to him. He had proved he could sail a complex solo race in the boat designed to circumnavigate the world. This, he kept saying, is “just the start”. The Transat bakerly from Plymouth to New York (the sponsor is a French producer of baked goods) is the professional end of what the
OSTAR single-handed transatlantic race once was, begun by Blondie
Haslar and a gentlemanly band of pioneering adventurers. This is the
mother race, the one that began both the drive to race solo across oceans and the development of fast offshore multihulls.
