Our Multihull editor, Fran Slingerland, is currently in Mangareva on Gambiers, part of French Polynesia, having arrived there, in early April, after a slow trip from Easter Island aboard the performance trimaran 'Ninth Charm'. She has every intention of sending in her article for this page as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, we thought you might like to see Fran and 'Ninth Charm' for
yourself.
More of Guy Clothier's excellent photography can be seen in the Photo
Essay on the official
Ninth Charm website.
To see and read more of the epic voyage aboard 'Ninth Charm', you can log on to

While we wait for Fran's contribution, we thought you might like a few links to sites that deal with the topic on this page. We would very much appreciate information on relevant sites that you think other readers might enjoy and why, if you can spare a moment to tell us about any you know of.
If we all make that small effort, we will doubtless be rewarded by the joy of discovering websites we might otherwise have missed.
