Will he be at sea the whole ninty days? He's leaving from Newfoundland the longest leg would be to Greenland, less than four hundred miles away. Then along the coast until a jump to Iceland. From there, it's not that far to Scotland.
The people that are driven to attempt adventures like this are wired different from the rest of us. I don't think bragging rights is the real motivator, more the desire to push the limits of the possible. He says he is not satisfied sitting around protected by the conveniences of the modern world. Deprivation and discomfort don't appear to dissuade him at all from realizing his asperations.
Does he have enough room for that?
Maybe not. He does plan to follow the Tradewinds to Cornwall, but he's a sailmaker and that boat has a lot of lateral resistance. Perhaps he plans to fold the two halves together for reaching. I can't see that he'd get much windward performance though.

One thing I always see missing from any list of equipment and supplies in preparation for long ocean voyages is vitamin supplements. It doesn't take long for scurvy to develop in the absence of vitamin C, and it also doesn't take long to cure it with vitamin C supplements. Every life raft should include a year's supply of multi-vitamins. They will help slow some of the effects of starvation.
