Whoa! Look out RORC Caribbean 600 race, your record looks in jeopardy. Gunboat 66 @TeamPhaedo owner Lloyd Thornburg has gone and got himself a new MOD 70 – currently docking in Antigua.

And his rockstar crewlist includes Brian Thompson, Michel Desjoyeaux, Sam Goodchild, and Pete Cumming!

Arrived safely in Antigua on board the epic new Phaedo3! Life changed forever, multihull sailing is the future! And wow what a boat the MOD 70 is. 5 days from the Canaries to Antigua, averaging over 20kts, 500 nm a day. 9 and a half days in total from Port la Foret, France. Great trip with old friends and new, flight straight back this afternoon to crack on with life in the Figaro is a bit painful however! Life sailing around in single digits could be difficult to adjust.. H

i don't have a clue how the owner made his money.., but i imagine that the delivery crew for a boat like that is mostly professional sailors

who cares where the money came from. Guys spending money on boats is awesome. Doesnt matter if its 4 knot shit box or a 70' tri.

More boats make the world a better place

Looks like it was a great trip. Nice to one of the MOD 70's getting another lease of life.

I want one!!!! As much as I enjoy building and sailing the boats I have built, a MOD 70 would knock it out of the park for me!

 

[AdventureTri]

On second thought, I don't have to own one. Team Phaedo. if you would like to send me a pm, I would love to join y'all for a race or even a delivery!

 

[mad]

And so would several hundred others I reckon.

Great to see this MOD 70 design, sailing in new places..... Their awesome....

And yet I learned to sail multi's from one of the best, Kim Alfreds owner of Cheekee Monkee, because I had the guts to ask forthrightly.

Bankrupt mortgage company that went bust when it was overleveraged in the billions. Several shareholder lawsuits. Yadda yadda yadda.
