Macif/Francis Gabart - Solo RTW attempt


Recommended Posts

Yeah he's been going well. Appears to have slowed right at the moment, looks to be doing 11 knots. Had a bigger lead a few days ago but is only 290 miles ahead of sodebo's pace now and that looks yo be eroding.

 

Here's hoping he gets conditions that allow him to pick up the pace again shortly.

And to the engineers who designed the boat and to the people who built it.

 

He is now sailing into the western hemisphere doing 38 knots. That is pretty close to the top speed of the vessel I did my military service on and we had three gas turbines powering us along. Cold war stuff for the Baltic Sea.
