A superb victory for Oren Nataf who won the multihull category of this event aboard his Pulsar 50 Rayon Vert. The Yacht Club de Monaco skipper alongside François Seruzier crossed the finish line at 10:34 (UTC) Friday 24 January. The pair won the Line Honours Multihull, an impressive result and fitting end to a masterful and fast crossing.

 

It took them just over 12 days to cover the 3,000 nautical miles linking the Marina Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to the Marina Camper & Nicholsons at Port Louis in Grenada in the Caribbean.

A globally recognised event organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) it represents a big challenge for skippers the world over and is part of the prestigious RORC Championship.

For Oren Nataf, this win was an important one in a competition that he’s already excelled in. It was in 2021 when Rayon Vert lifted the Line Honours Multihull award when he finished in 9 days 2 hours 33 minutes and 19 seconds. The same year, the boat also came 2nd in the MOCRA category at the Rolex Fastnet Race.
