Updated: Feb 3, 2019

From 1-15 December 2018, Ineffable, the Rapido 60 manufactured by Triac Composites (skippered by Stephen Bourne along with Mark Haswell), sailed from Las Palmas in the Canary Islands to St Lucia in the Caribbean.

Crossing the Atlantic; from the Canary Islands to St Lucia, Caribbean.

Mark Haswell writes below:


Great trip, 13 days and 9 hours, per Wendelin's Navionics 3,222 nm covered (vessel's B&G was reset by Steve trying to dim the plotter lights two days out...).


Great trip.


Great boat.


Great crew.

Big thank you to all of you looking over us during the passage and especially to Johannes for the daily weather updates.


And to Sir Dick (Richard Eyre, co founder of Rapido Trimarans), James (Sganzerla, Operations Manager) and all at Rapido for making such an Ineffable weapon.


Surfing at 24.8 knots yesterday morning with just jib and two reefs in the main.


Awesome!
