On Board Allegra - Rolex Fastnet Race 2023
Paul Larsen is the world’s fastest sailor. He's a multihull fanatic and a great story teller and his description of Allegra’s Fastnet Race is well worth a listen. If you thought that charging around the 700 mile course on a 78ft luxury cruising cat would be a comfortable, stress free way to tick the Fastnet Race box, Paul puts you in the picture as to what it was really like.
The crew of Adrian Keller's Allegra completed the course in 2 days and 8 hours and 44 mins to win the MOCRA class but as Paul explains, it was far from easy.
Paul Larsen tells Matt Sheahan what it was like.

Fantastic interview and monumental effort. Absolutely riveting!
Congratulations to all on the winning team. Looks like they had their hands full and put forth their best efforts. I hope they had fun too. What a great interview from the Cap'n. Congratulations to all the participants of the one and only Fastnet Race. Good on ya.
seems like an afternoon "around the cans" for some. however great respect to ALL who participated
They shred in Gotland race, what an amazing boat and team.
Thank you Matt. What a superb recount of a great race, full of joy for sailing. I like his point about taking time out at the rock to just enjoy the crew and the sailing. Thank you!!
Great vlog and an impressive performance from the 'cruising' cat!
Marvelous, truly riveting! Awesome.
❤ Absolutely ❤ love ❤️ you guys, ❤️ all better now ❤️
Congratulaitons Adrian!
Wow! I'm floored. So cool 🤟✨
Funny fact, Allegra is also the name of the very first boat (x-442 mk2) i happened to command
Great stories
Paul should seek an endorsement from Colgate with that big grin , with 32 knot top speed pushing 30 ton he had plenty to grin about..😊
very bouncy happy man great way travel
The forward cockpit doesn't look fun in those conditions

Can't see how a cat can win against trimarans I logged a top speed of 47.1 knots on a 30 footer in a force ten southerly sailing on the surf angle from Roscoff to Poole the big trimarans cruise at over 40 knots

not in those seas
Did not understand half of that jargon.
If you’ve got a billion dollars, spend 3/4 of it on racing yots, fast cars, racehorses, booze and hookers. Then just waste the rest.
