Owner talks about his sailing experience aboard Atla
I bought ATLA in Fort lauderdale in 20 15. And spent 6 weeks with updates .
Then sailed Teo seasons in caribean and also down to South america during the hurricaneseason. In 2017 january we started in the world Arc. A very nice experience. When arriving in Fiji we left the arc and sailed down to New Zealand . A sometimes tricky passage made easy by Atlas speed as we we left New Caledonia in November just as a low was passing by and arrived in Opua New Zealand after 5 days and 19 hours just before the next low hit. In New Zealand it was early spring . We sailed there the whole summer put the boat on the hard and made some work on the ruddershaft. Then we sailed another season down to the Marlborough straits on the South Island Also a passage where speed is often of the essence. Otherwise I have always sailed Atla conservately. as she is so easily driven there sail area is low and easily handled . I have used the asymmetrical in total three times. Atla still makes good passages .
In 2019 we left New Zealand and went back to Fiji to join the world Arc again in Vanuatu. There we had one of our fastest passages .We started in Vanuatu 24 hours after the Arc fleet. We had to wait for a download of charts. We sailed for 5 days averaging 215 miles per day with the best day at 242 miles and arrived in Mackay Australia as the third boat (of 17). After that we sailed back to the
Caribbean ariiving in the eco vid in may 2020 . Since then i hav sailed a little every year in th southern part of the Caribbean . But the sailing time no longer motivates keeping Atla so she is now for sale .
