As proof, among the 45 multihulls on the startline of the ARC 2024 in Las Palmas, we were able to discover two new boats just launched, the C-Cat 38 Bellamossa Città di Fiumicino and the MC75 Jack. These two catamarans, in addition to being, as yet unknown to the public, were also the smallest and second-largest participants in the event - after the Sunreef 80 Mischievous.
So the ARC 2024, as well as being the world’s most popular transatlantic rally, has become somewhat of a boat show! But these two catamarans weren't there to make up the numbers: Jack crossed the Atlantic in less than 15 days, and Bellamossa came first in Class B ahead of 21 other competitors! The skipper of the C-Cat 38, none other than Massimo Guardigli, the boss of the shipyard, intelligently managed the time his engines were in use - despite limited fuel carried.
But the question is: will the C-Cat 38 and MC75 be nominated for Multihull Of The Year 2025? Find out on February 12!
