Anyone here going over for the prologue race, Gij'on Spain to the start in Les Sables d'Olonne France? double handed with possibility of a media passenger. Will be traveling on the 4th, that race starts on 8-14 will have a few weeks to help on any needed prep and race to France. We will be on...
Glad to see this topic added to SA, haven't been on line here lately. Have sailed with Guy for many years, as Bob mentioned the changes in the spar looks to be bullet proof. Wishing Guy the best, as of this am he looks to be about 1/3 into his crossing to France.

+1, have not been on in months, look to read about a true sailing legend's sad passing and this takes over. Now I remember why I have been busy with other things.
RIP Huey and the era.

Have been out of touch lately and just happened by SA this morning, So sorry to read about Burt. Again not one to sail with Burt and the Burden crew but was always great to sail against them and to be around the group at the club.
A great read to go through all of this this morning, many found...
So are you going to cut cards to see who gets the EPIRB if the boat does go down, That will help find 1 body anyway, or tie ourselves togeather anyway. EPIRB is great if you can stay with the boat but it will not help you with hypothermia.

Oh and on other points from OGFD, safety...
Bought a pair of the TP shorts a prior to BDA race, Seams started unraveling at the stiching, HL was very stand up on replacement, although I opted for a light jacket for replacement, Those shorts just uncomfortable and sweat your ass off.

Charlie loves it, maybe he will spare us since we wont be actually offshore, but I doubt it.

You must not have been there before, CRW is blessed with most gorgeous brunette's than any place, this is one that leaves the blonds standing as brides maids, for a change.
Looking forward to it again.

Thanks to all for great coverage, helps when not there.
Well Congrats to all with their positions sewed up BUT there are many in position to move up or miss out on the podium today.
