Velux Race
Well I was distracted and just recently remembered that there was a big race going on. All I see are 5 boats and they are four 60s with one 50, all extreme racers with logos everywhere.
This is probably gonna be a dumb question but where are the 40 footer, home grown teams? Is there a new regulation?
In the last "Around Alone" I was rooting for others at first but I grew to like that crazy Canadian Mountie. The home grown efforts might not do 300 mile days but they make me feel closer to the race.
