"Following up their record-setting performance in the 2013 Bermuda Challenge run aboard a Skater 42 V-bottom, Tyson Garvin and Chris Fertig have bigger plans — much bigger. They are planning to build a catamaran more than twice as long to attempt a future circumnavigation; but first, to test some technologies and safety equipment, they’re having Douglas Marine build them a Skater 50 catamaran."
