Vid. Clipper telemed in southern ocean

[Tintin]

Back from my travels onboard Clipper Telemed (you know, the one that finds wind holes) in the Southern Ocean.

Enjoy.

Looks exciting but a bit cold for a fair-weather sailor like me.

However, as is the time honoured tradition with all such videos, it behoves we Forumites to find something to criticise so I'll start with:

Crikey, those yellow sheets are seriously chafed.

Hi Richard - actually it was quite cold some time, but the exhaustion and sleep deprivation hurt more (4 on, 4 off for 30 days).

And in time honoured fashion, a correction - those are running backstays which have had the spectra core exposed to enable a soft loop to be spliced in.

Not really sure what those are as I don't have any backstay at all ...... but we live and learn. :encouragement:
