An interesting viewpoint

[CPD]

I came across this paper recently, and whilst not particularly aimed at "Jester" sailors, it is nonetheless quite interesting.

Good to see it gives support for long distance single-handed sailing, slightly worrying to think that there is even consideration being given to stopping it!

It would have been nice to spell Ellen MacArthur's name correctly! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The view of high authority outside the world of sailing would seem to endorse
the proposed ISAF policy: Francis Chichester, Alex Rose, Robin Knox-
Johnson, Chay Blyth were all knighted, and Naomi James was made a Dame
by the HM Queen Elizabeth following single-handed trans-oceanic voyages.
