The Teignmouth Electron was a 41-foot trimaran sailing vessel designed explicitly for Donald Crowhurst’s ill-fated attempt to sail around the world in the Golden Globe Race of 1968. She became a ghost ship after Crowhurst reported false positions and presumably committed suicide at sea. The journey was meticulously catalogued in Crowhurst's found logbooks, which also documented the captain's thoughts, philosophy, and eventual mental breakdown. Sold after its recovery, the vessel passed through several subsequent hands, being re-purposed and re-fitted as a cruise vessel and later, dive boat, before eventually being beached at Cayman Brac, a small Caribbean island, where its remains were still visible as at 2019 but in an advanced state of decay.

  • Teignmouth Electron est un trimaran de 12 mètres en bois avec lequel Donald Crowhurst s'engagea dans le Golden Globe Challenge en 1968. C'est un modèle unique inspiré des plans d', type mais profondément remanié au niveau de la cabine. Le choix d'un tel bateau est à l’époque audacieux mais pas impensable puisque des trimarans de ce type ont déjà réalisé de belles traversées transatlantiques. D'ailleurs un autre concurrent, Nigel Tetley, s'est engagé sur un bateau presque identique, le Victress, strictement conforme aux plans de Piver. (fr)
  • Il Teignmouth Electron fu il trimarano che Donald Crowhurst utilizzò nel tentativo di aggiudicarsi la Golden Globe Race nel 1968. Aveva una lunghezza di 12 m ed era stato progettato dal californiano Arthur Piver. Giudicato difficile da pilotare per un non esperto come Crowhurst, la nave era molto veloce ma non stringeva il vento più di 60°. Era molto difficile da capovolgere ma se fosse stato rovesciato da un'onda anomala sarebbe stato impossibile da raddrizzare, per cui il suo proprietario aveva intenzione di attrezzarlo di un meccanismo anticapovolgimento basato su una boa gonfiabile in testa d'albero con sensori che la attivassero in caso di ribaltamento, ed un sistema di pompe per raddrizzarlo. La necessità di partire per la gara entro i termini stabiliti spinse Crowhurst a rimandare l (it)
