TransAtlantic beach cat record attempt.

The Swiss-Italian team Jrata3 are challenging a record held for sailing a beachcat accross the Atlantic Dakar, Senegal to the Island of Guadalupe.  The existing record stands at 11days 11h 25m 42s set in 2007 by the French BenoĆ®t Lequin and Pierre Yves Moreau on “OCTO FINANCES”.  The new attempt is being carried out using the same catamaran as used in the previous record.

Also of interest is that a singlehanded beachcat record was set over the same course in 2008 by Vittorio Malingri of 13days, 17 hours and 48 minutes.  The record was set on 6.09metre beachcat.
