I think Conrad has formed a very close bond with his Drone....Maybe he should call it Wilson.

Great skills there. Tempting fate calling your drone "Wilson" - he didn't come back, IIRC.

I think Rich has a good shot at it. My last bit up the Atlantic was really a crawl.

That is pretty fantastic! Is it as easy as he makes it look?

He actually hinted in a local interview that while he wouldn't come back to the VG as a skipper, he could instead go on to build a new / improve this boat and look for some talented young to sail it. So we may very well see Nandor as a team manager. Would certainly be fun.

^What is the major differences compared to other new boats? Looks a bit narrower in bow, different foils, heavier?
