Phil in the news ..

<< < (93/159) > >>

DrRox:
The Velux5Oceans race got started this last Sunday. There was nothing about Phil. I suspect that he is probably coving it for some New Zealand outlet. Wellington, NZ is the 2nd pit stop of the 8 month long race. 5 boats and 5 sailors........and very long race.

LaRochell, France.....start
Capetown, SA...........1st pit stop
Wellington, NZ...........2nd pit stop
Rio de Janeiro Salvador, Br......3rd pit stop
Ft Lauderdale, USA....4th pit stop
La Rochelle, France....Finish

Do we have approx dates for those stops? I did a pretty good search around last week and saw nothing about Phil either.

DrRox:
I haven't seen any dates yet. It is a sailing race and depends on the wind. It seems to me that the pit stops last from 2 weeks to a month. They use that time to repair the boats, etc before the next leg. I think the race only started with 4 boats. I think the 5th boat got damaged and they are having to do some check out sailings with the back up boat. When that is done, they that guy will take off. I think it was expected he would set sail on Friday this week.

theschnauzers:
IIRC, when Phil's involvement with this was first announced, there was some material linked here than indicated that in the past, this boating race lasted something like 8 or 9 months.

Phil could be at all the "pit stops" and still film an edition of TAR inbetween.

georgiapeach:
Oh boy.... :luvu:
