Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The race record is 7 hours, 45 minutes, 56 seconds set last year by a cat called Free Radical. This record is just begging to be halved by 888 or Vodafone. Link to post Share on other sites

The big T 41 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 You worried about fast or slow boats?
