Crossing Fingers for Team Malizia-Sea Explorer 🤞 Go, Boris, Go! 🇩🇪 And for all "real one Hand" sailors.

Excellent wrap up … thank you! My heart breaks for Maxine Sorel. I remember from VG2020 when he had a convo with a merchant ship in the southern ocean about the race. Hope to see him back in 2028!

Enjoyed the various ordeals, route runs, recoveries, successes. The 3d simulations plus the expert commentaries added further clarity. Three or four groups may be developing. Now for some sprint records after the doldrums.

A great report that’s so well rounded. You’ve covered every single thing that’s taken place so far. Bravo! Awesome job!

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Godspeed to you all. I’m British so back Sam and Samantha 🇬🇧 😊 Sorry that Alex Thompson from my hometown Gosport isn’t sailing this edition.

[@BeeRich33]

I was thinking Alex was at the start. He was apparently backing a Canadian that never showed up, and I've heard nothing about that. It is indeed a shame Alex isn't sailing.

[@marcusingram522]

He supporting L’Occitane sailed by Clarissa Cremer

So much damage and break downs so early. These boats cost how much?

[@hobie1827]

I have heard about 2+ Million €...just the boat.What about the prepairing costs, Tools,Food etc

[@danielmclellan7762]

The guyot boat is 3M euro on yacht world

[@smacksman1]

They are 'cutting edge' tech with everything pared down to the minimum. They constantly find out where the 'minimum' is which eventually helps us mere mortal sailors! I'm amazed at the diameter of the main sheets and jib sheets. My control lines are thicker!

[@ightwoman]

26 minutes, too much of spent with Goodchild. Why no check in with Pip Hare?
