Maserati Multi70 crossed the finish-line of the third RORC Transatlantic Race at precisely 20h 54′ 23″ GMT (16.54 local time), just off Camper & Nicholsons’ Port Louis Marina on the island of Grenada, taking second position in the multihull class of her first ocean race in a time of 7 days, 8 hours, 44 minutes and 23 seconds.
After casting off from Lanzarote at 12.00 GMT on November 26, Giovanni Soldini and the Maserati Multi70 team opted to pass the island of Las Palmas to the north on their first night at sea. This choice impacted the rest of their race and allowed Phaedo3, which rounded the island to the south, to take what proved to be an uncatchable lead.
Phaedo3 and her American crew crossed the finish-line yesterday at 01.49 GMT to take line honours in the multihull (MOCRA) class, having led the 14-strong fleet for all 2,865 miles of the race.
