Roanoke Island ,N.C. | From Genealex on SA "Octo Finance crewed by Pierre-Yves Moreau and Benoît Lequin have just started their attempt to set a good reference time for the Passage from New York to Lorient in France in an open 20ft catamaran. They were on the front page some time ago, Pierre-Yves was crew on Banque Populaire a few weeks ago when the set the new record for New York to Lizard point. They already hold the record for the Dakar to Point a Pitre crossing so if things go well the time they set will be a good standard. Their site is in french but they have tracking ." http://www.ocean-express.org/ny/index.php/fre/cartographie

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

League City, TX | what kind of boat they sailing? Custom built 20 foot creation. Tons of freeboard and some rather odd looking wings. If looks fugly to me - but I admire what they are doing and feel rather envious. Chris. | | |
