Good luck to them all. It looks like a very professional operation in
that they are keeping all women off the boat.

Look at all those kiwis in the crew. No wonder we need lots of immigrants.

Plus the rig was made by a New Zealand company, Southern Spars, the
sails are made by North Sails New Zealand, and one of the designers is a
Kiwi.

What's more amazing is that there are two *Americans* in the crew!
I thought the only American who had the skill and experience to sail all
the way across the Atlantic was Simple Simon, and he was too busy
posting to the internet with his 500 mile wifi setup.

Many tris and cats have made better than 500 miles a day.

OK, I'll bite - where does the 40 knot figure come into it?

525 nautical miles in 24 hours = about 21 - 22 knots average. Was there a
max. speed somewhere that's not discussed on the website?
