What the Sailors Say

"Currently, we're in a little squall, blowing 26 knots from behind and we have Ella up. Yes, that's the spinnaker. Zen's flat and going 14-16 knots through the water. Tom's in his glory, like a little kid riding his bike down that roller coaster road with his hair on fire."

Monique Burgess, Atlantic 48 "Zen", on passage to Marquesas Islands, 

 

"After 30,000 nm, Resolute is sailing brilliantly. In my humble and probably biased opinion, none of the other boats on this World ARC rally come close to Resolute in terms of fit-for-purpose for this type of blue water sailing. Objectively, we are substantially faster, more comfortable and dry. She's a fabulous sea boat".

Ken Gibson, owner of A48 "Resolute" January 2017
