Don’t think British participants make much difference to UK media coverage - long days of extremely boring cricket get massive coverage, physical violence (boxing etc) gets lots of coverage, but not sailingI wonder if the fact that there are hardly any Brits affects this? Very little (no?) coverage on the BBC, for example.
Putting others lives at risk is naughtyWe have some friends who just crossed from Portugal to Porto Santo. They had a close encounter with two of the racing yachts doing 20kts at night with nobody on watch. They couldn't raise anybody on the radio. Had to take last minute evasive action. They weren't impressed.

Our friends say that one of the boats they had to alter course for had the words ' solo sailor"' in the AIS identification so not all two up.That’s a little strange. These are not solo sailors - they have two crew and one is up driving while the other sleeps.
