Hello! They need to get to the start line in Antigua. So these 12 boats are racing the mini Transat now, to Antigua. There 3 other 580 boats will join and 1 of these drops out. 14 will then start the true MGR and head for Panama!
@@BruceBradley-rl1rt also Ertan in TRAKKA is already there ..he did the Transat last year qualifying for MGR ..so 15 starters for MGR....12 for Transat./..
Better late than never. I lost the live earlier but this upload is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Thanks.
Awesome stuff, fair winds sailors. You keep our dreams alive.
Great to see everyone underway! Going to really enjoy following this race.
It's hard to imagine the world without the globe 580 now. Bringing dreams alive
what a great line..and YES I think you are right... :) ..woop woop!!
How lovely to see these small boats come alive as they catch the wind.
Love the moment at 39:58 when the kite pops and Kerri Harris on Origami takes off.
Thank you for the upload, looking forward to tracking this race
Good luck to you all, what an adventure!
Good to see Pete again!
Fair winds to all!
Surprised to see a reef or two at the start with hardly any wind !
Hungry for more ❤
Awesome!!!
Go the Jasmine!
Question: the Big gennaker, what size ?
We have an A3, A5, A7 ...all specs on the Class Globe 580 Website.. :)
@mcintyreadventure
Thank you very much
👏👏👍👍❤❤
Don what’s a good upwind speed on this class 5knots?
Can they use motor at the start?
Not after the 10 minute warning, I believe.
Not until 10 miles away.....and not after 10 minute gun..
I'm totally confused. The start of the race is in about forty days, isn't it? What's this?

@@BruceBradley-rl1rthow are they crossing Panama?
@@louissanderson719 believe it or not, I think they'll all be hauled by truck.

@@louissanderson719 I thought through the canal, but I believe I read somewhere the boats will be hauled overland.
Dan the man is not from Nova Scotia
It ts not bad luck when u get that far from the line in light air.
