Were they not part of a Dutch racing sailing school..?

Cheers Rail Meat...Thanks for the coverage....Its been great following your Atlantic Challenges on the East Coast through the last few years....But now to follow you across the spread of the Atlantic in a real enduro event....Brilliant

Thanks Leo......

Yann and the new Veedol....Lombard and Schipman have worked from Carac to get this new design over the line . file:///Users/user/Downloads/Class%2040%20Veedol_photos.pdf....its quite a shape . but ....Yann has definitely been the find of this edition

Aymeric 8.7 nmiles to go.....Phil 8.8 nmiles behind .

Pete Goss sailed the Seacart 30 extremely hard....structure in the boat needed rebuilding during stopover.......Later Pete and his son sailed a Traditional Lugger that he built to Australia .....His rescue of Dinelli still extraordinary . But it was the Team Phillips ...the boat that was evolution / revolution in design and build.....there was so many new things...too many to keep up with.....the rebuild of the bow structure that found the limits of secondary bonding ...the relaunch and the storm . to bounce back each time . Thats one hell of a package in a sailor...... He was on Team Concise, a new Class 40 in the 2010 Route du Rhum

Im not sure either....but Phil has been doing it tough trying to get his auto pilot and nav equipment running better ... sounds pretty exhausted if things are not working a hundred percent and others around you are running well .....its hard to catch up

paul in yann 12nm to go at 14knts

Yann coming up on Paul 15 nm behind its interesting again shame if foils get up at this stage Paul has sailed an excellent race ... and so has Yann

Alex has said he hopes Paul Wins in the interveiew . he slept through... the electric shock watch didnt wake him...He has a souvenir of Guadaloupe......pulled a rock out of his pocket . ... he is grateful to be there ...

the 40s are going to be interesting Phil dropping back a few miles but the group back to seventh is certainly swirling around each other....what a class . ..a spread of 300 miles .

well he is there ....great to see . what ever the result . thanks for the facebook link yl75 . this footage she is still moving well

Phil closing down the gap . ....68miles .... with 1400 to go . epic stuff . Alex stretching out a bit ... 18.9 knots and 370 miles to go

oh no Banque Roll ..now Banque really Rolled....
