The Boats of Round Texel | Inside the World's Biggest Catamaran Race
What do sailors bring to the biggest catamaran race in the world?
At Round Texel, over 200 catamarans gather on the beach before taking on the legendary 100km race around the island. In this special edition, we head into the boat park to meet the sailors, hear their stories and take a close look at some of the fastest, most innovative and most interesting catamarans in the fleet.
From cutting-edge foiling machines and Formula 18s to classic designs and highly personalised race boats, this is a unique look behind the scenes at one of sailing's greatest events.
