Delta Lloyd, Ger O’Rourke (Skipper)

Delta Lloyd is doing between 20 < 26 knots of boat speed in wind speed of 20 < 28 knots as we push hard to stay ahead of the Russians some 20nm behind us. We can only fly fractional sails in wind speeds above 14 knots due to a damaged top Starboard spreader we made repairs on. So if we manage to finish ahead I will be happy.

Objective is to get boat and crew to Cape Town for repairs so we can live to fight for the next 8 legs.
