I’m posting this thread because there may those amongst the list that will find this interesting.
This post is somewhat C&C related because the subject of the video upgraded his boat near mine. He just did his upgrades with much more alacrity. Kim is an acquaintance of mine, lives in the same town and has attended more than one of our annual Sock Burning Parties. I’ve assisted him with some of his projects. Prior to his setting sail for Bermuda, I worked along with another very experience offshore sailor (in the yard repainting his Valiant 42 with triple spreader carbon rig) to get him prepped and sorted away. The Valiant owner leant Kim his life raft. Having raced to Bermuda in the past Kim was keen for any insights that I could impart. I told him to stay away from the Swizzle Inn rum swizzles and take the round-abouts in a clock-wise direction... I don’t have any insights or knowledge of events other than what is portrayed in the video and I’m not going to speculate. This voyage was a long-term dream of Kim’s. His boat is a mid-to-late 80’s Jeanneau, around 35 feet.
