The D12 coming with me during the crossing is the evolution of the Maria prototype boat that allowed Mark Slats to win the Talisker Whiskey Race in 2020, beating the entire fleet by more than 4 days.

The boat is built in carbon, she is light, weighing no more than 190 kg. It has many advantages, in particular small side fins to limit water ingress on the deck, ensuring a dry crossing and better recovery.
