I’m a 67 year old that’s been sailing since my childhood. My heroes have been Mario Andretti, Bernard Moitessier and Dick Newick. I’m adding Kirsten to my list. What an awesome spirit.
Its properly called a cranse iron not a nose cone. Glad to see the EPIRB in a hydrostatic case on deck instead of below--makes much more safety sense--as we saw in the case of Tapio's unfortunate casualty.
Congratulations. Felicidades, Enhorabuena, Kirsten. From Gijón. Fue un gran placer asistir a tu charla ayer, en el Real Club Astur de Regatas e intervenir en el coloquio posterior.
Great interview and boat run thru. Don could sailors have used a twin groove foil roller furler? And then run 2 seperate head sails? We had twin groove foils for racing in the 70’s so should be with if the rules it was an improvement to using twin hanked on sails . Cheers Warren
I asked the same question above and someone replied that it is the French version of The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier. If you haven’t read it, then absolutely do!
@@johan96149 Sorry, thought you wanted french subtitles... you are right, autotranslating of spoken french is not possible when autogenerated subtitles are english
@@paulplatt3984 It is possible. I have done that with other videos. What is the point of having English subtitles with English dialogue? I have seen videos were many languages was available, including Afrikaans. It is autogenerate, and translate.
That seems to be "La longue route" by Bernard Moitessier, one of the incredible contestants for the first Golden Globe Race. A fitting choice if I might say so. (:
Ah, yes! My second favorite book after “Tamata and the Alliance.” I read The Long Way when I was eleven and I have spent all of my income on boats ever since.
@@donmcintyre6037 I was speaking to Yves Gelinas yesterday and that is not what I heard. What does the question mark mean at the end of the phrase "...they are approved?"
@@donmcintyre6037 Just to introduce myself. I am not a troll. I am another Canadian/Quebec filmmaker thinking about circumnavigating. I actually bumped into Sir Robin at about 6:00 in Southhampton a few years back as we both showed up as guest on a Steamship reberthing. Cheers

Incredibly humble. You are very inspiring Kirsten. Congratulations again on an incredible journey!
What an incredible human spirit !
🌞🌴⛵️
Adorable and redoubtable. I would love to see her meet another favorite in Noraly Schoenmaker of the Itchy Boots channel..☝️❤️✌️🌍🇿🇦🙏
I've got a new favorite sailor. Sorry Moitessier, but Kirsten just bumped you. With every interview I find more to admire about this incredible woman.
Congratulations KIRSTEN ! Great interview and great tour about sailboat.
Dragging off of the swim ladder was one of the great moments in sailing history.

Gotta love Minnehaha and her skipper... I may need to copy that "navigation table" for my little Bristol

Great interview have watched it a couple of times and will again.
Absolutely fantastic and so humble. Best wishes to this Incredible person.

Don, its time you upped your technology game and put a mike on the people you interview.

yes
Late to the video. Question from Kirsten's terrific run-through of her boat post race: What is meant by continuous vs discontinuous rigid? Thanks.
continuous; longer wire fewer fittings /dis-continous; shorter wires, more fittings
Kind of a strange question but I am curious. Do competitors have to check out and back in the France immigration?
yes
? Quand le doigt montre la lune ….pitoyable cette question ?
👌
Congratulations Kirsten!! What's the first book shown please?

Subtitles for French is not available. I did enable autogenerate in settings. Subtitles in English for English dialogue is available.
In the options, where you can set the quality and speed, you can then choose the autogenerated transltion to french
@@paulplatt3984 Have you done that? There is nothing when Aida talks French.

Why are Cape Horn wind vanes not allowed in the GGR?
no one wanted them :) ..they are approved?
