Cymraeg Pwllheli based Jackknife will start the 3,000 miles RORC Transatlantic race on Sunday 11th January at 12.30hrs.
Andrew and Sam Hall, Thomas Tudor, Nick Butterworth, and Chris Jones from Pwllheli Sailing Club are joined by Mark Bolger (Cork) and Fabio Galea (Malta). We wish them fair winds and a safe, fast race.
The race can be followed on the YB Tracker - use this link -
The race starts from Lanzarote's capital Arrecife. All boats must round a turning mark off Puerto Calero before heading into the Atlantic Ocean and westwards then to Antigua.
The fleet is composed of cutting-edge monohulls, high-performance multihulls, performance cruisers and smaller offshore racers. Crew representing 19 nations from around the world will be racing with a wide range of goals, targets and ambitions.
I am sure that many of us will be following their every move with great interest.
