Team Actual west-ward tour
- Thread starter semelis
- Start date
Sarurday 4th indeed looks like an ok window, I wonder if Gabard will also take it, they told me on twitter they were looking at it
Edit : And Macif in fact just went into Orange code
So if they take this one, Spindrift will clearly start later as their stand by starts on the 6th

So geovoile and great circle are getting feeds from all (?) the big ocean efforts. Hope politics will allow showing them all on a single tracker, with links to each boats home-hosted stats.

and here is a guy, Alain Maignan, who is doing he same thing on his 36 foot Beneteau. Please try to follow him, too. Very special guy. I met him on the dock at La Trinite before he started and asked him why he was going to do it the wrong way round. „Because I did it the other way 12 years before“ he said. https://alainmaignan.wordpress.com
the page unfortunately is only in french but there is a tracker and every second day they are reporting what´s going on. At the Moment his watermaker is out of order and he´s trying to repair it. I think he deserves the same respect as all these super pros.

Restart time limit? Thought that was the Jules Verne or . . .
No there is no restart time limit, even for the Jules Verne if you go back to the start.
And as he is heading first to the Horn, I'm not sure he has the same constraints as the "normal" tour, in fact he might go North of Australia to do most of the pacific and Indian Ocean in the trades.(I've seen that somewhere cannot remember where)

Don’t´think that anyone doing it the wrong way round is going north of Australia. You would have to go to far north. except some real strange weather.

Not sure (haven't read all the blogs, and need to check reqs for the WSSRC records). Here he says the WSSRC recorded his start.
