The story told by Albert MARCUS.
Born in 1988 from the imagination of a Danish billionaire
settled up in Spain through the company purpose and real estate including Andorra, the boat is
commissioned and built by shipyards Bianca in Sweden.
The boat is at the origin sets promote activities in Danish Andore. In Denmark, the ATODOTRAPO door at the beginning of the name
ANDORRA. It is a pleasure boat combines the sporty side
profile racing but without sacrificing comfort cruise both in its interior and on the bridge entirely of
teak.
UNIQUE SHIP!!!
What it makes the specifics, is in first that it
has a very special mast * (only 3 copies
mounted on three different ships).
Second, it is long of 62 feet with a structure
X from 'X YACHTS "who brings all
aspects of a great sailor crew.
And finally, it has 19 manual winches.
Captain's Note: What a pleasure! The rig 7/8th is a fractional rig, the forestay is not binded at the top of the mast which gives more opportunities of settings and smaller jibs than with a masthead rig. This type of rig is more efficient and may be more sensitive but also more flexible. The setting of the mast is as important as the one of the sheets and halyards, but it takes skills and attention. The use of a boat rigged is generally a pleasure, especially if, as often, the boat is generously vieled. In general, on these boats, the consequences of a setting, or a setting change, are immediate and very sensitive.
RACES and SPORTS CHARTERS
The ATODOTRAPO ran a few seasons in the 62 feet league in Denmark. Subsequently the company was dissolved and a partner, "Mr. Soren" kept the boat to settle and live between Andorra and Palma de Mallorca where has had a new boat harbor on the island Majorca.
At this time, the boat is named "Fusion
62", builder's model reference. While participating in a
transatlantic race called "Cadiz Havana, it was spotted by a group of
friends who decide to rent the boat in order to enroll it in
the differente races on the Catalan coast under the
name ATODOTRAPO.
The ATODOTRAPO participates in the Ruta de la Sal, whom was, at the time, from Barcelona to Formentera, and took first place and beat the crossing record at the same time, which has not been beat yet, making the race in just over 16 hours.
Finally, the transatlantic races are abandoned in favor of sports charter and races. The boat is regularly praised for promoting international companies (Wintertur, Espaciopyme,
etc.) involved in these events.
So, the ATODOTRAPO is sold to
a group of friends passionate Catalan whose keep the name and create a
company under the same name to restore its glory days.
The boat continues charters sports on the Catalan coast, the Balearic
Islands, and in general the entire area of the pro-western Mediterranean
(Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, EOLI, egadi etc) but also several offshore races and various regattas Catalan .
Each year, in these regattas and offshore races "Ruta de la Sal," "Pollensa", "Soller",
etc. The ATODOTRAPO wins very beautiful and undeniable
victories.
In 2011, ATODOTRAPO with its brilliant career is purchased to be renovated in order to keep writing its history.
Albert Marcus, 17 years of love for the ATODOTRAPO
and always the same emotion for the skipper!
