kydocfrog Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 How about the arrival of Ellen MacArthur (hope I got that spelling right) at the Ushant on the 5th? Around the world, single handed, new world record of slightly over 71 days. One day of over 500 miles. Wow! Hard Core! Quote
Bud_Wilson Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Yes new world record for Ellen. We have been checking her progress daily for some time now. 71 days,14hours,18min. 33sec. that is about 15 knots an hour average. that is something. Skuttlebutt has it that sec. Rice is going to give the French enough money to build a new tri for Francis Joyon to take a shot at Ellen's record if Pres. Bush can get his budget cuts through. Won't that be nice? Y'ALL COME Cap'N Bud. :roll: Quote
