Ocean Fifty Solidaires en Peloton

Mid-October, our star reporter Brieuc Maisonneuve got the chance to join as delivery crew on the trimaran Solidaires en Peloton, skippered by Thibaut Vauchel-Camus, between Saint-Malo, in Brittany, and Le Havre, in Normandy. This multihull is none other than the former Arkema 4, built by Lalou Multi. During our express delivery trip, the trimaran covered 160 nautical miles in less than 9 hours - an impressive average of 18 knots. Conditions were ideal with 20 knots true on a reach, ensuring lightning-fast acceleration and we even recorded peaks of 34 knots! It was for Brieuc, his eyes reddened by the salt spray after five hours at the helm, an unforgettable experience, marked by the precision of the adjustments and the calmness of the skipper.
