Is This Crazy Race Even Possible?!?!? Arkea ULTIM Challenge!!!

On January 7, 2024, six of the largest and fastest sailing yachts ever constructed departed Brest on the west coast of France for a sailing challenge so extreme it has only been accomplished by four people in the history of mankind - to sail a multihull around the world, nonstop, alone in the Arkea ULTIM Challenge.

And these aren’t just any multihulls, but the biggest and fastest ever built, fully foiling, 32 metres long, 23 metres wide, weighting about 15 tons, and able to reach speeds approaching 50 knots on the open ocean.

In this video we talk about the challenges these skippers will face as they not only chase the blistering record of Francois Gabart of 42 days, 3 hours, but just try to survive without destroying their foils.
