Big and Fast

Leopard - Farr 100


Pictured above is the largest and fastest boat in ARC 2014. Crewed by twenty Finnish sailors, she is expected to make a serious run at smashing the record which stands at 10 days, 21 hours. To put it in perspective we, aboard Maravilha, would be thrilled with a 18 day passage. I was up close to Leopard a few days ago....WOW!

Also in the go-fast division is "Monster Project", a recent vintage Volvo 70 Ocean Racer.
