Rules
Propulsion of the boat must solely be by natural forces of the wind and of the crew.
The Jules Verne trophy is open to any type of boat with no restrictions.
Crew size is not restricted.
The circumnavigation must be completed non-stop and with no physical outside...
Even more fun.. have the VOR in those boats with some allowances for instruments etc and have them start an hr or so in front of the B Fleet of weekend warriors...
35+ knots. Would be an interesting Groupama interview to compare and contrast .. no?

Seemed to have sorted out the inversion and breakage things
