    Default round the world retro yacht race

    These have just set of from the Island, all boats must be pre1988, and no modern electronics on board. Maiden is again sailing with an all female crew, will be a tough race, trying to basic carry out basic navigation, while in a washing machine, but interesting,

    Had a very good mate, now passed , who spent a number of years involved in deep sea sailing.
    Did one round the world, as he said enjoyable to the extreme but hard graft.
    he also did a couple of two handed only from Japan to Oz.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
