Record breaker MARI-CHA III is a Super Maxi whose
hydraulic sailing systems may be converted to manual operation
to comply with the rules stipulated by the World Speed Sailing
Record Council.
The interior can be dismantled to reduce weight for racing programs
and give room to the racing crew of 25. However, the full width
owner's suite with its adjoining study and large shower room
remains largely intact, as do the crew quarters. MARI-CHA III, in racing mode, became the new Atlantic
record breaker on October 24, 1998, when she crossed the finish
line |

at Lizard Point in southern
England at 12:08:17.
MARI-CHA III sailed from New York to Lizard in 8 days, 23 hours,
59 minutes and 41 seconds. She averaged 14 knots.
