Globe 5.80 Transat 2023 Boat Tour: RIGHT NOW (Jack Johnson, USA)

[@RicardoDinizPortugal]

One of the very special human aspects of this class is the wonderful fact that so many, if not most of these boats, are built by people with no previous boat building experience who then went on to sail a formidable adventure, all alone, in their home built nutshell! All that trapped potential, finally released by a crazy little idea to create a new and affordable class. Well done Don. Well done everyone. I am very inspired by you all.

Congratulations Jack!

[@shnboardman1]

Could you please do a video of what is actually in a medical kit for this kind of adventure

[@rollinrock6696]

Awesome

[@markgallagher1376]

Really cool boats! Do they plane or are they strictly displacement hulls? What speeds have been reached? I don’t see a tracker on the website. Has anyone reached the finish yet?

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Displacement hull.

[@Aheitchoo]

What this guy said! /\

[@bod3102]

Would the rear solar panels interfere with the windvane?

[@ThomasKindermann-b2r]

Yes it does interfere.

[@boarini2003]

Dumb question: Do they build these boats from scratch, or does a manufacturer make them?

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

They seem to build them from scratch , quite impressive . Though im sure ine could always pay to get someone else to do it like a boatyard or carpenter

[@trey1531]

All the parts are cut out with a CNC machine and shipped to the builder

'BandbyYachtDesigns' supplies the Marine Plywood kit for around 8500 USD - so the material and markings are certified to the designed specifications.

Go easy on the burgers, some time at sea will be a good thing
