IF you are able  , fast-forward to 02:10 in the following video, where a trimaran that is capable of exceeding 45 passes a cruising Fountaine Pajot catamaran in open seas—to cheers of selfless encouragement.

Excellent Video. THATS SAILING: I have watched it multiple times and it still amazes me the "balls" those guys have. I have single handed to Bermuda and return ..two times and know "Just a little". But Not Round The World. NB
