This is an extract from ‘Innforapenny 2’ log on the Lightwave website
(http://www.lightwaveyachts.com/cgi-bin/main/view.pl?page_id=1034)
We have 125 miles to go and subject to any unforseen disasters we should cross the finish
line about 04.00 UTC on the 11th December (midnight on the 10th in St Lucia, 1500 hrs on
the 11th in Australia).
We are now experiencing our best winds to date and we have just cracked the magical 200
mile day. For those sailors amongst you here are some stats. We would have completed the
2850 miles in seventeen and half days at an average speed of 6.8 knots. The highest wind
speed we experienced was a gust of 30 knots which lasted all of 30 seconds. The average
wind speed was 9 to 10 knots for the whole trip, with no head winds and the sea was mostly
calm with little swell. There were a few squalls around, but with the radar as our early warning
device we managed to dodge most of them.

We should cross the finishing line about 30th out of 220 boats, which includes all the race
boats and the large 80ft yachts. We were 2nd across the line in the multihull division, being
beaten by a Freydis 46 designed boat.
Unfortunately due to the lack of wind we had to motor for 35 hours, which will no doubt cost
us dearly in the final rated results.The boat went like a dream (thanks Roger and the team at
Lightwave) and bar a couple of swivels breaking, which caused us to rip the spinnaker
(again!!) there has been no other failures.
