Just heard on the news that Ellen averaged 15.7 knts around the world, the fastest I’ve been under sail is 11knts…………. Good grief I can’t average that going down the M6/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If I clocked that on our Rival 41 I'd be seriously upset. However we did manage 44 knots in a Sadler 29 when the Decca had a funny turn !

yeah. swmbo won't believe all that crap about no sleep except for little 15 minutes here and there either.

I spose the main difficulty was responding to the 50,000 emails sent to her by that bastard frenchie, which nearly worked.
