So who do you think is gonna win The Race? Choices are Play Station, Club Med, Innovation Explorer, Team Adventure, Warta Polplarma (sp?), and Team Legato (Quick Quiz, Phil?) Or do you think any of these teams will actually finish The Race? Would you want to go along if offered a spot on a crew? How about a day sail on one of the mega cats (that's for me)? Following progress has been tough so far. Not much coverage in the US press. The official web site (TheRace.org) has been too busy to connect to some times, slow to load on other occasions, and at least half in French. Anybody figured out another way to track The Race?

I'd bail out of school in a heartbeat

. . . if offered a crew slot on one of those puppies! I like Ellen MacArthur. The way she sails she can finish the Vendee and then lap the Race crowd! Justin - O'day Owners' Web

Hey Gary - This site is pretty good. Don't know as I would enjoy racing of this duration, however. Look into other stories on this site that detail similar experiences. They talk about how bad the crew smells, bacteria problems, head problems, skin problems... yuck. I'll stick to my C-27 and take out the Prindle catamaran when I have the need for speed... Hope this helps! P.S. - Yeah, therace.org really stinks. I think it is a software issue.
