602,66 nm på 24 timmar - Ericsson 4
Helt ok.
Själva plockade vi ner masten i går och på söndag åker hon upp.
Tack för hjälpen, Johan och pappa.
Never ever give up

Nytt läge!
Det gäller inte bara att segla fort man skall segla på rätt ställe. Green Dragon valde att tidigt gå västerut och tappade i listan på det men har nu fått bättre vindar än övriga och är nu på topp. Eriksson 3 ligger tvåa just nu men om inte jag har helt fel så kommer de snart att tappa det läget då de snart kommer att komma in i ett område med svaga vindar. Puma och Eriksson 4 ligger längre bak just nu men är på väg västerut och kommer nog att få bättre vindar än E3 mfl de närmaste dygnen. Ställning just nu:

VOR - Dags att "gömma" sig
Green Dragon var först ut av båtarna att utnyttja StealthPlay dvs att man slutar sända signaler om position och fart under 12 timmar.
"Ian Walker's Green Dragon team has become the first boat to enter into 'StealthPlay', a move that hides its position from the other teams - and us - for 12 hours.
The race organisers introduced the SteathPlay concept as a way to give the skippers and navigators a way to express their creativity allowing a team to make a move without the others knowing what they are doing.
With position reports being issued to the fleet every three hours, there is very little time for a team to make a break from the others.
Green Dragon entered StealthPlay at 0400 and will not re-emerge onto the radar screens of the opposition until 1600 today.
Teams are allowed to make one StealthPlay on each of the long offshore legs.
Meanwhile, out on the race course, Ericsson 4 and PUMA appear to have made the correct choice by sailing around the east of the Canary Islands. They've leapt out to a 29 mile lead over the (presumed) third place Ericsson 3.
And how about Delta Lloyd? The last-minute entry is up to fourth place on the leaderboard, also benefitting from better conditions to the East of the Canary Islands.
(If you're following the race on the TracTrac race viewer, you'll see Green Dragon in its last known position before entering into StealthPlay. The DTL, DTF and Leg Position calculation is based on the 0400 GMT position report and will soon be replaced by the StealthPlay logo."

>50 knop
En kitesurfare blev det som först knäckte den så magiska 50 knops gränsen.
Alexandre Caizergues ny rekordhållare 50.57 knop
The magical 50 knots barrier fell as the outright sailing speed record fell twice in 24 hours at the Lüderitz Speed Challenge over the weekend, with French kitesurfer Alexandre CAIZERGUES recording the fastest speed of all at 50.57 knots, subject to ratification by the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC). Kitesurfers demonstrate they are currently the fastest sailors on the planet over a weekend of furious action at the Lüderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia. In September, American kitesurfer Robert DOUGLAS had demonstrated the potential of the venue when he improved the Outright Sailing Speed Record, previously held by windsurfer Antoine ALBEAU (FRA) at 49.09 knots, to 49.84 knots. Over the penultimate weekend of the Lüderitz Speed Challenge, huge winds arrived in Namibia and the records tumbled.
In the 35 to 40 knot winds that blew over the weekend, gusting to more than 45 knots (83kph) and even higher on Saturday, the speed sailors braved very rough water conditions to achieve these records speeds. On Friday, Frenchman Sebastien CATTELAN became the first sailor to break the elusive 50 knot barrier, recording a run at 50.26 knots, subject to WSSRC ratification.
CATTELAN, the first person to break the 50 knot barrier, has been kiting for over ten years and is a pioneer of speed sailing. He was the driving force behind establishing this speed strip in Lüderitz, where a smooth stretch of water in the lagoon is buffeted by the already strong winds of the area that are accelerated by a shallow valley.
Coming into his record run on Friday, he was struggling with an unrelated small injury, requiring him to reduce his activity. "I've been in bed the last three days, concentrating on what I would do today. Then I just did it," he says. According to CATTELAN, his record breaking run saw a maximum speed of 58 knots - 107kph - on the GPS, with an average of 54.5 knots over 200m.
With conditions strengthening again on Saturday, the records continued to fall. Alexandre CAIZERGUES (FRA) is now, unofficially, the fastest sailor on earth, with a blistering 50.57 knots run over the 500m course on Saturday, the best of three 50 knots plus runs he recorded on the day. Several more 50s and high 49s were also achieved by other competitors and along with the outright sailing speed record, several more national outright records were broken.
The new records, all verified by the official time keeper but still subject to ratification by the WSSRC, have placed the small coastal town in the southern part of Namibia firmly on the map for the extreme sport of speed sailing, where sailing boats, windsurfers and kitesurfers use only the natural elements to power them to almost 100 kph speeds.
