hope that the daggerboard is ok ,other wise only next solution is on the end of the1st leg when we can ship him a replacement daggerboard as we allways have spare rudders,daggerbords and bowsprits on stock for the transat so that we can suplly our boats(and all other manuard boats) with spares

My favorite Alex MeVay second last currently... too bad. But he's tough in taking, could slip near little by little. On the other hand he won't go for risks either. See what comes...

The dame agto the bow doesn't look bad so i think it is not an issue ,but am not certain of the daggerboard which could cost him a lot ,even more so as this daggerboard is a ''veteran'' from when the boat was built and wasn't replaced during the refit

by the way at what times are the position updates to be made ,and did the organisers try improving their previus problems when the positioning ,as i remember they were quite unregular and taken at different times + may traspoders failed.

They were talking about two positions a day.
Think they will do that from tomorrow.
Would love to see more data times, do not really know why not.

Could be tactics too, you know, when one idiot takes a iridium with him, with only two sets of data it will not help you much...

Fuck, its a race :) Now we can see who sleeps not, or during the day.
Xavier, that could be a winner, nice course...
Andraz is mad, and flying....
Clay in tenth, thats the only surprise in the top. Go Clay...

It looks like Isa wants the middle, Sam the north, and Peter a bit to the south. And, of course, our good friend Xavier taking the coastal route - perhaps no more GPS so follow the lights on the beach all the way to the end of Portugal then turn right.
