Route du Rhum form guide - 60ft tris
Thursday November 7th 2002, Author: James Boyd, Location: Transoceanic
The Daily Sail form guide
The table below is The Daily Sail form guide to the 60ft trimarans. We have based our rating on a combination of:
'boat speed' which relates to aspects such as the newness of the boats and the budget (to get new sails, etc) more than actual speed,
'skipper experience' is based more on experience in the tough discipline of racing 60ft trimarans singlehanded.
'reliability' is related to the newness of the boat and how well prepared we believe the boat to be.
