That is screaming fast! Any details on the boat and provisioning it was non stop correct?

Yes non stop. The good thing about going that fast is you don’t need months of provisions

Ultim class trimarans are 105’ and yes have foils. While the Jules Vernes Trophy is run with a crew, they are also setup for single handling racing.
