Re: Jessica Watson urged to cancel round wrld attempt
Just a PR story. Totally planned.
Why don't the new stories tell us something useful. Like what kind of boat she is using.

 The S&S (Sparkman and Stephens) 34, a classic design from the famous Sparkman & Stephens, it is known firstly for its seaworthiness, toughness and track record. It is a boat capable of consistent speeds and one that Jessica can easily handle. The S&S 34 became famous after Jon Sanders, David Dicks and Jesse Martin used them for their history making solo circumnavigations. There is now an S&S 34 association and hundreds of other S&S 34 have made and are making successful circumnavigations and offshore passages. S&S 34’s are commonly entered in the notorious Sydney to Hobart and many participate in club racing all around Australia and the world. SPECIFICATIONS Length Overall: 10.23m Waterline Length: 7.37m Beam: 3.08m Draft: 1.83m

Re: Jessica Watson urged to cancel round wrld attempt
Now that is useful info. I like the skeg mounted rudder, but I do not like the short fin keel.

Re: Jessica Watson urged to cancel round wrld attempt
Well, she crossed the line today. She is officially in foreign territory. The dreaded Northern Hemisphere. Fortunately she will not be there for long. Just whip round Kiribati Island & back to friendlier waters.
It seems she experienced some difficulty untangling the line from around her keel, but apart from that, no problems.
