We’ve been at sea exactly three weeks today and we’ve just passed the
\nisland of Fernnando da Noronha, which we had to leave to port to pass
\nthrough the Fastnet Marine scoring gate.<\/p>\n

We are currently holding 4th position, which suits us as we are still
\nleading the pack of generation one boats and are still within 100 miles of
\nCessna Citation, the brand new Akilaria RC2, the newer version of our
\nboat.<\/p>\n

The race so far has been an amazing experience with lots of variety in
\nthis leg, the exit from the med, the African coast, the Canaries, the Cape
\nVerde archipelago, trade wind sailing, the dreaded Doldrums and now some
\nBrazilian paradise island to round to port…<\/p>\n

We’re very much looking forward to this second half of the race, and see
\nwhat the weather has in stock for us, it will be interesting to see what
\ntactical options will open up, what choices can be made to try reshuffle
\nthe finishing positions.<\/p>\n

Today we would like to thank one of our sponsors, First Class
\nSailing whom we have worked with earlier in the year in organising a
\nSolent blast day on our boat, giving some of the many First Class Sailing
\nsailors an opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing this powerful
\nClass40 before we set off for the Global Ocean Race.<\/p>\n

First Class Sailing organises theory and practical sailing courses giving
\nanyone the opportunity to get started with this fantastic sport or progress up the
\nladder of qualifications available and indeed experience some of the
\nfinest UK races such as the Fastnet. Alternativaly you can charter your
\nown boat and go hopping around the south coast and the Channel Islands at
\nyour leasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
