Looking at this table we can clearly see that the time it takes to cross the Atlantic has decreased exponentially. Some big developments were of course the steam engine that allowed for bigger and much faster ships to travel the Atlantic while also bringing a lot more cargo.
If we look at the Sailboats in this list, we can see that the more hulls you have the faster it goes (if you want to know more about how that works, check out this article)
There is not a significant difference in time to complete between the catamarans and the trimarans in the short run, but in a circumnavigation of the world, the difference can be huge.
A monohull on the other hand is slower, this is mainly due to the amount of drag this type of hull has.
This table compares different types of boats under the same conditions and adds an airplane as a point of reference.
Here are the records for the fastest crossings of the Atlantic in a Sailboat.
5d 14h 21min 25s | Comanche | Monohull | 2016 | 21.44 knots (39.71 km/h) | |
3d 15h 25min 48s | Banque Populaire V | Trimaran | 2009 | 32.94 knots (61.00 km/h) | |
4d 11h 10m 23s | Sodebo Ultim | Trimaran | 2017 | 28.35 knots (52.50 km/h) |
The 2880 Nautical miles(5330 Km) long route starts at Ambrose Light in New York and finishes on an imaginary line between Lizard Point and Ushant of the coast of England
As you might have noticed, there aren’t any numbers for catamarans since the classes are divided between monohulls and multihulls. Since trimarans (three hulls) are faster than catamarans (two hulls), there is no real point in racing a cat.
What you also may have noticed are the ridiculously high speeds these boats are doing. Bear in mind that these are racing boats optimized for speed and made to smash world records.
There’s a big difference between the 28 knots a racing trimaran will make and the 9 knots a cruising catamaran will.
Crossing the Atlantic can be done in almost any sailboat or ship. As a matter of fact, it has already been done in small rowboats and open catamarans, so everything is possible.
If your question is what boat should I use to get a somewhat comfortable and safe trip, well, then we have something to talk about.
Choosing between a monohull or a multihull has more to do with personal preferences. Some people really like the stable platform of a catamaran, and others dont think it’s a real way of sailing and wants to be heeling over to its side to fully get that true sailing experience.
For me? Catamaran every day, speed, and comfort, but I’m also not a purist sailor in any way. I’m an adventurist, and the boat is merely a way to experience adventures.
The size I would say matters, bigger usually means it’s safer and can handle bigger waves, although it might be harder to handle on your own I something happens to you or your crew mid-sea.
Most people seem to cross the Atlantic with a boat in the 35 -45 ft spectrum, which fulfills both requirements!
If you are interested in digging deeper into what sized boat you should get, check out my article on Best Sized Catamaran for Ocean Sailin g
Other aspects you might consider are the size in terms of space onboard , how many people are you doing the passage with, the more people, the easier operating the boat will be. This assumes you have a well-trained crew that you know well.
And what are you going to do once you get there, is it the end of your trip or is the beginning. If you’re doing everything just to cross the ocean and then get someone else to bring it back, that’s one thing. But if its the start of a long adventure, the requirements are different. You are going to want more space for scuba gear, and other toys.
I do think the most important aspect is that you have a seaworthy boat that it’s capable of withstanding weeks on end with sailing in many times rough conditions.
This means that your equipment spent has to be the most expensive and handy, but it needs to be in good condition, and you need to be able to handle your great in every weather.
Not including your average stuff when sailing, such as life vests, etc. There are some great that you might not be on your everyday say m still that could be of high importance during such a formidable sail as this.
Westward route: europe to the caribbean.
According to Jimmy Cornell, a well-known sailor and circumnavigator that has made his own research on the subject, Las Palmas is one of the biggest ports of departure for sailboats crossing the Atlantic.
Around 75’% of the sailboats that arrive in Las Palmas on the Canary Islands will depart for an Ocean crossing.
Getting to The Canary Islands, you should not be in a hurry; there are many very beautiful places en route. No matter where you are coming from this is a good stop well worth a visit.
Coming from the north of Europe, you have France, Spain, and Portugal. Entering from the Mediterranean, you have Italy, Croatia, Greece, and so many other interesting places that you shouldn’t miss unless you’re on a very tight schedule.
Once you reach Las Palmas, you can either go straight towards the Caribbean island of Barbados, or you can do a stop along the way at Cap Verde.
A stop at cap Verde makes sense in many ways; for one, it makes the transatlantic trip more manageable by dividing it into two sections.
The second reason is that it gives you the possibility to stock up on fuel and water that you might have used more than you thought. Since Cap Verde is well developed when it comes to receiving boats doing this type of passage, there is no technical expertise on the island.
From Cap Verde, you can also take a direct flight to Portugal and onwards if the need arises.
Even though you might not plan to stop here, the recommendation is to at least plan your sailing, so you pass close to the islands, so if something happens, you can head to Mindelo port and fix it.
Another good reason why you would go close is that the further south you go, the better chance you will have of catching those sweet tradewinds that will take you safely and enjoyably to the warm waters of the Caribbean.
Sailing west is the preferred option for any sailor and especially if you are on a boat that doesn’t sail perfectly upwind, such as a catamaran.
Sailin g west and using the tradewinds is perfect on a catamaran, the sail will be faster and more comfortable than a monohull of the same size.
Looking at the 2019 ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers), a 55ft french catamaran outclassed the 65 ft professionally sailed monohull with a 10-hour lead. All this while doing yoga on board, something that I can promise was not happening on the monohull.
The stable platform of a catamaran with the wind on your stern makes sailing west on a transatlantic passage perfect for Catamaran.
Coming back to Europe, I would argue that the same principles are still valid: to stop at or pass by islands close enough to have the option of going into port if need, and using the tradewinds to your advantage.
Considering this, most people leave the Caribbean from Tortola, Britsh virgin islands, or St Marteen. These make great starting points for the eastward journey since they are the last point where there is plenty of fuel, spare parts, and food for the long and sometimes arduous trip back to Europe.
Though it is not necessary, many sailors make a halt at Bermuda; this is a good start to fix anything broken or wait for the right weather before your head on to the next part of your trip.
The Azores, the same goes here, you can skip it, but staying close to it adds safety and comfort if needed, and I would also stop by just to enjoy the islands. It’s a beautiful place and good for a few days of low-intensity cruising.
If you still have some energy left after the trip from Bermuda, one option is to head for a place called Horta. The place is well remembered for its hospitality towards sailors heading towards Europe.
Once you have refueled on diesel and energy, it is time to head for northern Europe. This is usually done by sailing north until the 45th latitude and then heading east.
Choosing a route has a lot to do with your intended purpose of the trip, are you going for a speed record, then going more north might be an option, and accepting the risk might be ok for you and your crew.
If you are going west but more interested in doing it safely and are able to spend a little more time out at sea, then the southern routes mentioned above with a departure date around November and December.
Going west on your way to the Caribbean, you’ll notice the days are getting warmer and longer; this is because going west, you also travel south towards the equator where the days and nights are equally as long be it summer or winter.
This weather window is to avoid the hurricane season in the Caribbean that ends in late November, these are the main risk and must be considered in your plan.
Taking into consideration the information above with trade winds, the possibility of breakdowns, and the collective knowledge of the area.
The best route for a westbound Atlantic crossing is from Las Palmas (on the Island of Gran Canarias) to Barbados Via Cap Verde. The best route going east is from St Marteen to the Azores Via Bermuda.
This is, of course, based on the assumptions we have discussed above, and it might not apply to your skillset or aim of the crossing.
You can definitely cross the Atlantic on your own (short-handed). As a matter of fact, many do every year. Of course, this demands more of the sailor since there is nobody to ask for advice or to help while underway.
Neither is there anyone that will help you with handling sails or maintenance while underway; because of this, it is more dangerous and more difficult to solo sailor sail short-handed as it is also called.
The usual way is to either bring a crew of your own, recruit a crew from the port of exit, or find one online via crewseeker.net.
Sailing in big oceans is never a hundred percent safe. This is why it is an adventure if it was absolutely safe, where would the attractiveness and the excitement lie?
Looking at the data, there aren’t many accidents happening, and of those, there are even fewer that are deadly or leave the crew injured for life.
There are also ways to make it safer; we have discussed boat size and crew skills; other route selection factors are vital. It might not be the quickest to cross the Atlantic, but the southern route seems to be a safer bet.
Prepare yourself, your crew, and the boat, and the chances for accidents will still be there, but they will be small and manageable.
Spending two to three weeks in the middle of the ocean can definitely be lonely, but it can also be the absolute opposite. If you’re sailing with a crew, you will share the same small space with everyone else, always bumping your elbow. If the weather is rough, you may all be a little tired, which also adds to the group dynamics.
But even if you would get sick and tired of your crew, there are ways to call back home. You might have a Satellite phone, which is expensive by the minute but a lovely way to hear the voice of a loved one back at land. Much better than a text message through Email.
Sending emails has been a pretty straightforward process since the SSB radio started to be utilized. This type of radio is very simplistic and has good reception up to thousands of miles .
The nice thing with this radio is that it allows for data traffic, which means not only are you able to receive weather updates, but you can also contact your family through Email.
Yes, there might not be a coast guard or anything nearby, and you might be way out to sea, but there is help to get. Since every ship is listening to some set of frequencies, usually, the first step is to call for a Mayday on that channel.
If you’re not getting anyone’s attention, then they might still see you on the AIS, Automatic Identification System, which makes anyone around you know where you are.
Many times the crossing is done together with a lot of other vessels; this gives comfort as they might also be able to help in case of emergency.
If all this fails, you probably also will have your EPIRB, Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon , which is a gadget that can be activated through certain triggers such as water, tilt angle, or manually activated.
Once activated, it sends an emergency signal at different frequencies and relays the information back to shore for someone to come help you.

Crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat is a dream for many.
But how do you know what size sailboat is best for you? In this article, we’ll cover the considerations you need to take into account when selecting a sailboat for your Atlantic crossing, including the size of your crew, the duration of your voyage, and the level of comfort you desire.
We’ll also discuss the advantages of larger sailboats and provide our recommended size for crossing the Atlantic.
Read on to get the detailed guidelines you need to make an informed decision about the size of your sailboat.
Table of Contents
The size of sailboat you need to cross the Atlantic depends on the individual’s experience level as a sailor and the type of voyage they plan to take.
Generally, for a safe and comfortable voyage, a sailboat of at least 35 feet in length would be recommended.
Additionally, the boat should have a solid and reliable design, as well as enough storage for enough food and water for the crew.
Finally, it is important to have a reliable source of propulsion in case of any emergencies.
When deciding on the right size of sailboat to cross the Atlantic, there are a few key factors to consider.
First, the size of the crew and the duration of the voyage should be considered.
A larger crew may require a larger boat for more living space and storage, while a shorter voyage may require a smaller boat.
The level of comfort desired should also be taken into account.
A larger boat will provide a more comfortable ride in the oceans waves, and will also provide more storage space for provisions and supplies.
On the other hand, a smaller boat may be more maneuverable and easier to handle in rougher seas.
In addition, the size of the boat should be considered in relation to the type of voyage.
A longer voyage may require a larger boat, while a shorter voyage may be well suited to a smaller boat.
It is important to note that a larger boat may also require more time to prepare for the voyage, as the boat must be properly maintained and outfitted with the necessary items for a safe and comfortable journey.
Overall, when considering how big of a sailboat is necessary for crossing the Atlantic, a sailboat of at least 35-50 feet is recommended.
This size of boat will provide ample living space, storage, and a comfortable ride in the oceans waves.
With careful consideration of the size of the crew, the desired duration of the voyage, and the level of comfort desired, the right size of sailboat can be chosen for a safe and enjoyable journey across the Atlantic.
When considering how big of a sailboat is necessary for crossing the Atlantic, the size of the boat depends on many factors, one of the most important being the size of the crew.
The number of people on board will be a major factor in deciding the size of the boat.
A larger boat may be needed for a larger crew, as more living space and storage will be required.
A sailboat should have enough space for everyone to move around freely and to store all the necessary supplies and equipment for the voyage.
Additionally, the crew should have adequate sleeping quarters and room to relax and socialize during the journey.
If the crew is large enough, a boat of at least 45-50 feet should be considered, as this size of boat will provide ample living space and storage.
The duration of your voyage across the Atlantic is a major factor in determining the size of the sailboat youll need.
If youre planning a short trip, around a few weeks, a smaller sailboat of 35-50 feet should suffice.
This size of boat provides plenty of space for comfortable living and storage, and is suitable for a smaller crew.
However, if youre planning a longer voyage, such as a month or more, then youll need a larger boat.
The bigger the boat, the more space youll have for living and storage.
Boats of 50-60 feet are suitable for these longer voyages.
These boats are large enough to provide plenty of living and storage space, while still being able to handle the waves of the ocean.
Its important to remember that the duration of your voyage will determine how large of a sailboat youll need.
If youre planning a short trip, then a sailboat of 35-50 feet should suffice.
However, if youre planning a longer voyage, then youll need a larger boat of 50-60 feet.
This size of boat will provide you with ample living and storage space, and will be able to handle the waves of the ocean.
When considering how big of a sailboat is necessary for crossing the Atlantic, the level of comfort desired is an important factor.
While some people may be comfortable sailing in a smaller boat, others may require a larger boat to ensure a more pleasant experience.
A larger boat will provide more living space, storage, and a comfortable ride in the oceans waves.
For a comfortable and safe voyage across the Atlantic, a sailboat of at least 35-50 feet is recommended.
This size of boat will provide ample living space, storage, and a comfortable ride in the ocean’s waves.
It also allows for more supplies to be stored on board, such as additional food, drinks, and other items.
Additionally, larger sailboats tend to offer more stability and can be better equipped to handle heavy winds and waves, which can sometimes be encountered when crossing the Atlantic.
For those who prefer a more luxurious experience, a larger boat may be necessary.
Boats of 50 feet or more can provide spacious cabins, comfortable seating areas, and even amenities such as a galley, showers and toilets.
Such amenities can make for a more comfortable experience, especially when spending days or weeks at sea.
Ultimately, the size of the boat chosen for a transatlantic voyage depends on the individuals needs and preferences.
A small boat could be adequate for a shorter voyage, while a larger boat may be more suitable for a longer journey.
By considering the level of comfort desired, one can determine the size of sailboat needed for a safe and comfortable crossing of the Atlantic.
When it comes to sailing across the Atlantic, bigger is often better. Larger sailboats provide a variety of advantages over smaller boats, making them ideal for longer voyages. Here are some of the benefits of a larger boat:
1. Increased Stability A larger boat has a greater ability to stay upright in rough seas, providing greater comfort and safety for the crew. The wider beam of a larger boat also helps keep it from rocking too much, reducing seasickness.
2. More Room for Gear and Passengers Larger sailboats have more room for passengers and gear. This is especially important when crossing the Atlantic, as a longer journey requires more supplies and potentially more crew members.
3. More Room to Relax Larger boats provide more space for the crew to relax during the voyage. There is plenty of room for comfortable seating, cooking and food preparation, and entertainment.
4. More Room for Storage A larger boat allows for more storage space, which is essential when crossing the Atlantic. Not only will you need to store extra supplies, but youll also need room for sails and other equipment.
5. Greater Range Since larger boats have more space for fuel and supplies, they can travel for greater distances than smaller boats. This is important when crossing the Atlantic, as youll need to have enough fuel and food to last the entire trip.
All in all, a larger sailboat is the best choice when crossing the Atlantic.
It provides greater stability, more space for passengers and gear, and greater range.
Furthermore, it provides a comfortable and safe environment for the crew, allowing them to enjoy their voyage.
When it comes to crossing the Atlantic, the size of the sailboat you need depends on multiple factors.
Generally, a boat of at least 35-50 feet is necessary for a comfortable and safe voyage.
This size will provide you with ample living space, storage, and a comfortable ride when you encounter the ocean’s waves.
The size of your boat should depend on the size of your crew and the duration of your voyage.
If you are planning a long-term journey, then a bigger boat may be necessary to provide enough room for the crew.
Likewise, if you are planning a shorter voyage with a larger crew, then you may need a larger boat to accommodate everyone.
In addition to the size of the boat, you should also consider the features of the boat that are necessary for a comfortable voyage.
For example, you may want to look for a boat with plenty of storage space, comfortable living quarters, and a sturdy hull to handle the waves.
You may also want to consider features such as a galley, navigation equipment, and a generator to provide power while at sea.
When choosing the right sailboat for crossing the Atlantic, it’s important to do your research and find a boat that meets your needs.
Do some comparison shopping, read reviews, and speak to experienced sailors to get an idea of what is necessary for a safe and comfortable voyage.
With the right boat, you can have a memorable and enjoyable voyage across the Atlantic.
When it comes to deciding on the size of the sailboat that is necessary to cross the Atlantic, there are several factors to consider.
Chief among them is the size of the crew, the duration of the journey, and the level of comfort desired.
A larger boat will be needed for a longer journey or a larger crew, and a smaller boat will be more suitable for a shorter journey with fewer people aboard.
The size of the boat should also be in line with the level of comfort desired.
A larger boat will provide more living space, storage, and a smoother ride in the ocean’s waves.
In general, a sailboat of at least 35-50 feet is recommended for a comfortable and safe voyage across the Atlantic.
This size of boat provides enough room for a crew of two or three, as well as ample storage and living space for a comfortable journey.
