less than 15 days across the paddle in a 20 footer

Look at the circular foils and the T-Rudders! Very cool!

Don't know who is a fault, but when I tried to open the attachments I was redirected to a porn dialer.

that's wild...the links worked for me - I got to boat sites.

I opened all the links with no problem, no porn.

Glad to hear everything is ok. Dunno what happened.

question.. wouldn't the topic sound better if it said "pUddle" instead of "pAddle"?

I've never heard of the atlantic being referred to as the paddle.

Puddle yes.. its all symmantics. 😛

Hey Maughan

Your right! what a shame (english orthography is not my strength)!
I checked the dictionary now and to bad I cannot change the subject title anymore. So Rick is there any hope ....

Good sailing!

Hi Andreas

Thanks for posting this ,--its very inspiring .
What a great challenge and potential race .

Recall meeting the original TransAtlantic sailor with the 86 record sailing across the pond {Atlantic} on the Hobie 18 , he attended the Hobie 18 World championships in 87 held in Toronto .
They were in very bad condition and were hospitalized but made it .The stories of the crossing were very interesting.

The team attempting it next year should join in the Tybee-Atlantic 1000 race in May ,- can't imagine a better training ground or experience to prepare for the Atlantic crossing. http://www.obx500.com/ formerly the W-1000.
Some catamaran sailors would like to see an open 20 development class catamaran category for similar innovative design in the Tybee Atlantic 1000 in future years along with Formula Classes in all length categories .

Many of us would enjoy attempting to race {across the pond} in a challenge race per limits of 20 ft L sailing craft .

It is a beautifull advanced design and hope it is very successfull-

It opens up some interesting design ideas and concepts for discussion ,-maybe for the cad designers thread.

If an average 9.25 speed can be achieved the 5000 km or approx 3100 miles could be sailed in under 14 days .If about 13 under 10 days!

Your English is much better than my Swiss-German!

Hey Maugan,

Puddle instead of Paddle? How about Semantics instead of Symmantics? Anyway, when are we going to discuss this over a cold one? I'm racing in Pensacola this week end. Maybe week after next.

Don,

Ironically, I was doing a virus scan with Symantec Norton Anti-virus when I wrote that
