It would be useful if most of that 45000 kms was flying on foils.
Its also very much like kite surfing. The sails are so big they do function like low flying kites. The captain who can manage that kite and the great speeds generated will definitely be flying not sailing

As a life long armchair sailor, thank you for covering this race. Bloody awesome. I live on the coast of the Southern Ocean in Western Australia ( about 34° South). It can be a terrifying place, even in Summer. I've been below 40° South, on a great circle course, many years ago, in January (mid summer). It was below 10 degrees Celsius on deck and the swell was massive. In those days, Albatrosses were still plentiful. One of the best experiences of my life. But I wasn't alone on a sailboat! Extraordinary courage combined with technology to race solo down there. Sorry to rant, but it truly is a special event.

Do the foals make it more or less likely that they will hit obstacles or wild animals?

very interesting interview with well thought out questions as always. Thanks a lot. Very curious how this VG will pan out. Regarding Boris: Yes, he has optimized his boat for brutal southern ocean conditions, and if i'm not wrong this boar holds the 24 h distance world record, but Malizia demonstrated good performances also in lighter conditions and in various breezes, as you mentioned. Can't wait to see all Imocas in action.

Just crazy the amount of sail these yachts can carry with the ocean foils. Good luck everyone racing!
