Transatlantic Mega Yacht Race
Today Lady Ann proudly hosts spectators to witness the start of the Transatlantic Mega Yacht Race. While keeping a respectful distance from the starting line, we admire Dykstra & Partners’ elegant race monster Hetairos, Lady Ann’s bigger brother, while she flashes by at speeds running up to 20 knots. She is keen to set a record passage time, of well under 8 days. Other race participants, like brand new giant Zefira, cross the starting line already well behind Hetairos, but still at impressive speeds. We head back to the marina to drop off our guests, and will shortly after cast off and set sail for the Cape Verdes archipelago.
