4,000 miles in 60 days? F16 Stealth's should do it in 16 without the biceps!

That mast wasn't that big, surely it can be done easier than that. Also that thing looks slow!!!!

Oh dear! That just looks like a pitchpole-in-waiting!

Why does it take so many to sail that thing? 5 crew! It looks sooooo overloaded. For each extra crewmember for 60 days they're carrying hundreds of extra kilos <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I really hope they make it safely <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It looks like a "Hey guys, wouldn't it be cool to.. [insert idea here]" project to me. Good russian sendoff with a deciliter of vodka each <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yest, just for fun and at last sail in warm water, not in White or Cara sea
Deciliter is too small, decaliter will be OK <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
