Sigurd Boasson and Rune Wiborg completed the two-stage Transquadra solo and double-handed transatlantic race aboard their Sun Fast 3300, finishing in the middle of the fleet.0:29 The duo spent two and a half years preparing the boat, focusing on safety, medical requirements, and performance optimization with assistance from experienced Norwegian sailors.1:31 During the crossing, the crew encountered gear failures, including a cracked sheave in a Karver furler and issues with NKE wind instruments, which required urgent repairs.3:36 They identified a critical need for a smaller spinnaker, noting that their existing sail inventory was too large for the heavy winds and significant sea states encountered in the final days.5:05 The Sun Fast 3300 proved structurally robust, maintaining stability even during a spectacular broach in 25–28 knots of wind.15:05 The sailors plan to keep the boat in France for further training before potentially participating in the Baltic 500.6:29 Experience gained during the race shifted their perspective on sail selection and the advantages of symmetric versus asymmetric setups in offshore conditions.10:38
