I didnt see it noted in the article, but this is specific for the monohull category. The trimaran Banque Populaire V [1] has the unrestricted record at 3d 15h 25min 48s and 33 knots [2]. This is pretty staggering when you compare it to something like the transatlantic voyage of Christopher Columbus at ~61 days. Banque Populaire V was more than twice the length and sail area of the Santa Maria, but ~15% the weight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banque_Populaire_V https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banque_Populaire_V https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_sailing_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_sailing_record
