Alan P, I still havnt got to the bottom of What length Spirit of Cardiff was when you crossed the Atlantic ? I believe You say in your book and web site that it is 33ft or 10 mts yet on the web site promoting your round the world record attempt it is described as 32 ft long. See
If you're in Portsmouth on August 8th you can bring a tape measure and check it yourself!
Given the choice between the oficial Spirit of Cardiff site, and a third party site about a different project, which would you expect to have the correct details? The figures on the Extreme Global Challenge site seem to be a bit confused as the smallest boat that Alan has crossed the Atlantic in was just 24ft (not 32 or 33)
Are you planning to set any records in your 32'5" RIB by any chance?
Ha Ha JK, Ill leave all that bumpy gutsy cold stuff to the Experianced Adventurous and wish then all a Safe trip.
I like my kip and comfort for all that sort of stuff for the moment.
But thanks for the vote of confidence.
Depsol, I might bob over to the Isle of Man when alan gets back for a gander with mi 12 inch plastic ruler,unless Alan answers the question before hand,as his word will be the definitive on this subject for me.
