Alain Thébault (FRA) and his crew on the 60-foot foiling trimaran L’Hydroptère are expected try this week to beat the transpacific crossing speed record from Los Angeles to Honolulu, Hawaii. The outright record for the 2215nm distance of 04:19:31:37 was set by skipper Olivier de Kersauson (FRA) and crew on the 110-foot trimaran Geronimo.
