Well it's certainly been a lot of fun trying to follow all the Jester Challenge boat's progress. I don't think I've kept track of so many different websites just to follow a single event!
It's interesting to see that a report of the Jester Azores Challenge on an American website Sailing Anarchy seems to have got a good reception on their forum .Perhaps there'll be some American interest in future events. I know there's some S&S30s that go for peanuts stateside that would make a perfect Jester boat.
And talking of the future, surely the natural progression after the Azores and trans Atlantic, would be to run a version of the old BOC Around Alone race along similar lines? The Velux 5 Oceans seems to be struggling to carve out a niche in the professional world, so perhaps in should return to its corinthian routes?
