<\/span><\/div>With a journey of 30 days, 22 hours, and 34 minutes, Aina Bauza, the sailor from the Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx, has made history by setting a new solo transatlantic sailing record in a monohull<\/strong>. She departed from C\u00e1diz towards the Bahamas on March 3, 2024. The World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC), the body responsible for certifying world sailing records, has verified this achievement. Aina became the first person to complete this solo voyage between C\u00e1diz and San Salvador in a monohull, the first woman to do so, and the first sailor in a 21-foot (6.5-meter) boat, at just 29 years old.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>The route<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.ainabauza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/recorrido-1024x475.jpg\" "\\"recorrido\\"")
<\/span><\/div>\nThe goal of the challenge was to cover the nearly 4,000 nautical miles separating C\u00e1diz from San Salvador via the Canary Islands solo, without stops and without assistance. Aina covered approximately 4,800 miles in 30 days, with peak speeds reaching 18 knots<\/strong>. Weather conditions forced the navigator to take a more southerly route in search of the Trade Winds. ‘The weather didn’t allow me to take the shortest route; I had to head much further south to stay in the area of favorable winds and cover many more miles than expected.’<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The boat<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\u201cThe boat has responded very well, I feel very comfortable and connected to it after so many miles.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>The 1063 is a 6.5-meter long and 3-meter wide vessel<\/strong>.

Its rounded bow draws attention, allowing it to glide effortlessly over waves, particularly benefiting from downwind winds like the Trade Winds in the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout the 30-day challenge, this compact vessel has been Aina\u2019s home. In its cramped confines, she has slept, eaten, and lived, covering over 4,000 nautical miles on her journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
