The team behind the scenes

A special mention for those working behind the scenes, who have responded to our ever increasing list of tasks to do on the boat.

To Louise, Matt and the rest of the team at Island Charters for their professional management of Jangada. Really appreciate your efforts over the past nine months.

To Derek and his team at Yachting Sports for keeping the electrics and electronics working. And for the loan of a fishermans anchor for Barra.

To James & Bob at North Sails, for their advice on our sail wardrobe.

To Nick & Graham for the supply and set up of Expedition routing and race navigation software - which has logged 120,000 data points to keep me busy analysing the race over the winter.

To Colm of Dunmast Ltd, Cork for sorting out the comms between B&G and Raymarine instruments - not a single "crash" since.

To Chris of Malakoff, Lerwick for re-engineering the autohelm mounting.

To all the Race Officials and volunteers at the Royal Western Yacht Club, and each port of call, without whom we would not even be on the race track.

And last, but by no means least, to our families for keeping the home fires burning and to our friends for all their encouragement.


Regards

Richard & Trevor
