The 39th St Maarten Heineken Regatta has interviewed the skipper of Ineffable, a Rapido 60, Steve Bourne. The interview can be viewed on the video below.

Official blurb for the video

Ineffable is Rapido 60 trimaran, owned by Hong Kong-based sailor, Stephen Glyn Bourne. Measuring 60 foot, weighing 9.5 tons, this stunning boat not only looks beautiful, but she is also an awesome performer.

Regularly achieving speeds of over 15 knots upwind, her performance at the 39th St. Maarten Heineken Regatta was outstanding coming second in her class.

She won the Port St Martin prize for the fastest boat in the Round the Island race, taking just 2 hours and 27 minutes. (Click here for story on Sail-World magazine.)

Note of video footage

Steve Bourne says that at the 40 second mark in the video, there is footage of Ineffable flying a spinnaker.

He says, “FYI, the spinnaker shots are on the back of the Round Island Race in Antigua. You may want to mention that we are all alone (on Ineffable) because we left all the maxis (up to 130 feet) and the three Volvo 70s, except one, behind in our wake.”
