Our Aeroyacht sponsored Austrian tri is out of the OSTAR! Bummer. Reini Gelder was leading the entire fleet of racers across the Atlantic as his port spreader on the mast suddenly gave way. He has returned to the UK to undertake repairs. A triumph of will and courage nevertheless. Hats off to Reini who dared to face the North Atlantic singlehanded in his 40' tri.

Reini is out of OSTAR !
Our Aeroyacht sponsored Austrian tri is out of the OSTAR! Bummer. Reini Gelder was leading the entire fleet of racers across the Atlantic as his port spreader on the mast suddenly gave way. He has returned to the UK to undertake repairs. A triumph of will and courage nevertheless. Hats off to Reini who dared to face the North Atlantic singlehanded in his 40' tri. 
Around the World in a Tri
When one envisions a world circling cruiser –images of a stately heavy displacement yacht come to mind. Now switch gears for a second. My friend Reini Gelder and his wife Sandra sailed around the world in their 40’ racer/cruiser trimaran – not once but twice, and are still together! During one of my commutes to France I had the pleasure of staying one night aboard their efficient tri, visiting the Eric Tabarly ‘Cite de la Voile’ and learning about the organization “Light for the World”Reini is entering the OSTAR Single Handed Transatlantic Race next month. Follow him across the Atlantic here. Read the entire article in next months Multihull Magazine
