It is the fastest catamaran ever sailed solo in 24 hours, no other solo catamaran even comes close to that boat.
And still, it doesn't hold the outright record for 24 hour solo run.
Actually there are 3 forced mode displacement boats and skippers that in front of it in the record listing. One of these being a 60ft tri. Note how "Médiatis Région Aquitaine" is a 60 ft cat build to the same rules as the 60 foot tris.
Basically, you statement is only "true" because you choose to include the condition that any challenger must be a "solo catamaran". If you had used ""solo multihull" then your statement would not even have been in the least bit "truthful".
Situation is very much the same for fully crewed 24 hour records even in the 60ft or shorter class.
Nice try, but definately a smoke and mirrors kind of counter argument.
