Yesterday we had one of the helmsman and trimmers from the Ericsson 4, Volvo racing team hire our Hobie 16 with his partner and sail to Kraal Bay in the Langebaan lagoon. As always, I asked if they can sail. He was very modust in his answer, "yes a little", at this stage I did not know he was with the Volvo Race. His girlfriend laughed. I asked why he was in Langebaan? He then told me he was here with the Volvo race. Joao Signorini also represented Brazil in the Olympics. From all of us at Drum Africa we wish them a good race ahead.
Ericsson 4 achieved 600nm in 24 hours, that is some serious boat speed, well done!
