Team Malingri: Dakar-Guadalupe Record attemtp on a 20′ Cat
This 20′ foot cat was designed by Alfonso Avilés Ramos from Balance Arquitectura Naval. I have a pending interview with him to publish soon but long time CSN follower Eugène Philipszoon reminded me that Malingri Team is already in the middle of their Dakar-Guadalupe record attempt. Above video update published today, follow them on the tracker link below:
Text by Eugène : ” Vittorio Malingri and his son Nico are currently out there on the Atlantic trying to break Pierre-Yves Moreau and Benoît Lequin’s record from Dakar to Guadalupe in an open 20 ft catamaran.

Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
