Bonsoir I forgot to mention for persons who have problem to sleep before being tired or situation where it is difficult to sleep; the usage of auto-hypnose. just have a look at the training method from Johannes Heinrich Schultz Eric

Bonjour I think that there are two main rules. the first one is to anticipate fatigue and rest or sleep BEFORE being tired. The second is to take advantage of any small time of rest. I've slept between two waves. The idea is to keep a 24 hours of watch in reserve at any time of the voyage. it...

Bonsoir If you look at the "6.5m mini" serie. The last prototypes with very short and large bow are more efficient than the previous ones. Amicalement Eric

Bonsoir Paul Je vais être malpoli comme un français. peux-tu être moins con ? Stupid! Amicalement Eric PS : You will need your dictionary and your grammar to understand and it is on purpose ! PS2: Every body knew it and who cares ? PS3: Enjoy !

Bonjour Oldbilbo, you are right, Paul reported 92 NM to run at 11:00 this morning. But, if you have a look at the wind map : http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=-67.61,32.89,2431 There is a hight in front of him moving slowly to the Est. He has probably not...

Bonsoir Quelle belle bataille d'égo ! More seriously, if you enter the "oceanracetrack" chart through one of the boats; then, when you click on a boat, the date of the last entry is available. Sorry we are working with this marvellous tool provided by for free by Martin (merci) but as always it...

As on my computer I have additional loud-speakers, it becomes understandable. I'll try and see if I may improve in any way. Eric

I posted an interview of Andy Lane on : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXDsTeAFGBw&feature=youtu.be

Bonjour If you have any news, please provide them to me by email: eric.andlauerATyahoo.fr. I'll incorporate them into oceanracetrack. Eric

Bonjour As for the previous editions the Jester Challenge 2014 available data will be incorporated in the Ocean Race track web application: http://www.oceanracetrack.com/ortevent.aspx?id=36 Please send me any available information and the spot "ping".... on: eric.andlauerATyahoo.fr My mobile...

Bonjour You may try and copy the Pogo hatch. It requires a spray hood to protect from rain and spray but when closed it is almost watertight. http://www.pogostructures.com/croisiere/pogo-30/

Bonjour The weak point is almost always the man... To cross channel single handed is much more demanding than blue water sailing, hopefully. Just try a 500 miles run to the Irish sea. You don't need to take your decision BEFORE 2016. Eric

Hopefully Baltimore is on the Est coast !

Sailing headwind you may balance sails by trimming the main and genoa sheets. Then the tiller may be fitted or to a sandow or lashed slightly headwind or with a sandow on one side and the main sheet on the other. Still in "pre-windvane" ages on following wind you could fix the twin-stay-sails...

Bonjour Even on the northern route a gale never last as long as the income! Two days is a maximum and the average must be about a day. You always have at least a few hours of rest, I don't mean calm, between two blows. The sea is longer and much more "comfortable" than on the continental shelf...
