Shame about Dongfeng though

Yeah, with all the money invested you'd think they could afford a sprayhood ��

I'm just astonished by the speed of these boats. There's been such a huge advance in the last twenty years. I think I can remember when one of the boats in the Whitbread days first sailed more than 300 miles in 24 hours. Now 500 plus is frequent.

Yes, Tracey Edwards' first Whitbread was as cook. I seem to remember one of the owners on board as a passenger in one race, too.
