Another Atlantic passage record, attained by the 135 feet LWL Atlantic almost forty years later, with crossing time of 12 days 4 hours 1 minute 19 seconds, was to stand for 75 years until finally broken by Eric Tabarly in 1980. He was sailing a very different kind of craft: a 46 feet LWL hydrofoiled trimaran Paul Ricard, which made the crossing in 10 days 5 hours 14 minutes 20 seconds.
