    Paul’s approach to everything is really impressive:  he make his plans, then finds a way to test his work against competition or with data.  Thanks and congratulations to him!!

    I agree 100%

    what was happening then?  Did the back group get entirely becalmed?  If so, very unlucky, but Ilvy held its own through the long beat south then really did well as they went onto the reach.

    I am surprised that there is so little response about this event.

    Even though I am not a racer, I found it to be super exciting to follow it on the web. 
    Ilvy was racing in the keeboats small class. Just look at the crazy things happening when they pass through LilleBelt.

    Hopefully, this link will work...

    Bonjour Paul

    I suppose that it is a handicap race. If so, how did you get a handicap and what is the value in comparaison of the same boat with a bermudien riging ?

    Ilvy has crossed the line some 15 minutes ago. She had advanced through the 11-boat group since Lillebelt Sound, and won it...

    I bow to the dust...

    The Silverrudder has a huge resonance in Northern Europe!

    Every year, Yacht Magazine (the most important German nautical magazine, where Pau and Ilvy have already appeared)) features a long article about this competition.

    I imagine a good part of the next issue will be dedicated to Paul and Ilvy, no matter what position they finish in...

    I like to imagine her next participation with a sponsored carbon mast and composite sail... but I have to admit, the thing I like most to imagine is the expression of the participants behind a boat sporting a marvelous yellow homemade junk sail and a lamppost instead of a mast!

    Go Paul!!!!

    Impressive squared!

    Lying 55th, making better than 6 knots with 13 miles to go, and elapsed time more than 32 hours. That's quite a difficult race to complete, in a close packed single handed fleet and a tricky passage through the tight and twisty Lillebaelt on a moonless night.
