Message from Vladimir Prosikhin’s Volvo 70, E1<\/p>\n
Setting off on the Middle Sea Race this morning, its one of the ‘must do’ classics. 610 miles, with light air forecast for the first 70% or so, then a relatively solid front coming in from the west with 20 to 30knots of breeze ready to blow us home. Our routing software is telling us we will do it in 2 days 14hrs, but a little more or a little less breeze makes a massive difference to this prediction.<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to sailing on our chartered Volvo 70 which has seen a lot of miles but seems to be fairly well sorted.<\/p>\n
We’ve got an international mix of crew aboard, with Russians, Brits, Slovenians, Welsh, Australian and a token Dutchman.<\/p>\n
Signing off now, will try and keep you updated as we go along!<\/p>\n
