Sailing a Catamaran

With 4-years of experience in training new owners on the Antares 44, this year we decided to expand Antares University to include more than just a learning opportunity. Instead, we put together a 2-day cruising experience.

Sally & Arnie Complete their 1st Trans-Atlantic

This is the first time Sally and Arnie have sailed the Atlantic. Like everything else these first time boat owners do, they start by crossing it.

"It has been a pretty exciting 24 hours. We have been in winds of 26 to 31 knots constantly. The waves are large - we are guessing some are over 16 feet. We hit 15.8 kts surfing down one of the big ones. We are double reefed and the genoa is furled to about a quarter of it's size. We are approaching evening and there is no sign of winds dropping - so looks like another long evening." - Arnie Chestnut (location: Atlantic Ocean / 45-16.21N / 037-57.70W - July 31)

Their journey began when they left Kingston, Ontario shortly after participating in the annual Antares University program. They cruised down the scenic Erie Canal to the Hudson River where they got their mast stepped.

Once past NY City, they headed north to Nova Scotia where fog, whales, warships and following winds marked their first offshore experience. You can chart SALARN’s position at www.salarn.com

They will be at both the La Rochelle boat show in France and the Barcelona show in Spain this fall.
