Hi Jon,

Those are spectacular boats for sure. I'd love to sail one for a day or two, but I imagine they could get pretty uncomfortable at times and for days on end.

Our 47 days from NZ to CH looks pretty lame these days. In fairness, we lost almost a week early in the trip in a Southeast gale. We sailed over a spot where we had been 5 days earlier, which was pretty discouraging at the time. So in a sense we only took 42 days. Beating up the race course

All the best,
Max
