NEWS BRIEFS

Vendée Globe: the cruel Atlantic

New boats • DESIGNS | LAUNCHES | PROJECTS

Teenage dream • When 15-year-old Timothy Long decided to sail around Britain solo, he was looking for an adventure. He got a lot more besides

The story from mum and dad’s perspective:

Paul Heiney • Strange fluctuations in the Gulf Stream lead Paul to the conclusion that the arrival of a depression can not only affect the weather but have a far more profound effect on the human psyche

Andy Rice • Racing and regattas may be in short supply at the moment but that doesn’t mean you have to stop learning and improving. Just ask Kiwi dinghy racing legend, Hamish Willcox

Andi Robertson • Things have moved on since the first Vendée Globe in 1989, but the French flavour of this epic race will never change

Green dreams • Jimmy Cornell’s challenge of sailing around the world on a boat powered solely by wind and sun has given birth to a new Outremer; the 4Zero. Sam Jefferson takes a quick test sail

TOBY’S VERDICT

Green power • Sam Fortescue rounds up the best in renewable power to reduce your dependence on the donk

Case-study: hydro-generation

BEST OF THE REST

SAILING THE WORLD Dick Beaumont spells out what you won’t find in the almanac • There are many factors that make for a successful blue water voyage but there is one certainty; if you have an unhappy crew, you will end up having a miserable passage no matter how stunning the sailing or how beautiful the destination...
