If exhilarating superyacht sailing is what you enjoy, then Senso One will delight your senses. Measuring 140 feet (42.67 meters), she was built in 2003 as the famed Mari-Cha IV, with design work by Philippe Briand. Why so famous? She went on later than year to set a new transatlantic record, crossing the ocean in just six days, shaving two full days off the previous record.
A combination of carbon fiber and composite keep Senso One lightweight, allowing her to achieve speeds exceeding 40 knots. She remains the fastest monohull sloop on the water today, having gone on to win a few more races handily.
Unfortunately, this brief video footage does not show her in action. It was shot just prior to her participating in a regatta in 2008. Nevertheless, you can appreciate her design and features.
