Part 2!
Our rudder broke in the middle of the Pacific, with a big BANG as we hit a dead whale — now we truly know which materials onboard we can construct a DYI rudder from… Check our previous posts for pt. 1!

Well… that was fun! ⛵️

It’s hard to believe it’s already been nearly a week since 16 incredible racers departed Les Sables-d’Olonne, France, to take on @goldengloberace. A non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation! 🌍

It was great to meet new friends, reunite with old ones, and be part of such an amazing start to the race.

We’ll be watching closely… 🤩 taken in Les Sables-d'Olonne by @hydrovane

Our rudder broke in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. 💀⛵

No land.
No harbour.
No mechanic.
No other boats around.
Just us, our sailboat, and thousands of miles of ocean.

For a moment, we had no control over where we were going.

Good thing we are professionals at improvisation;
With the tools and materials we had on board, we started working on a solution — hoping the damages where not more extensive, and MacGyvering a solution to try to make it to land.

Sailing is an extreme crashcourse in adapting to what life throws in your direction, trusting each other, and staying solution oriented even when shit hits the fan.

We had not seen any boats for two weeks; out here, it’s really just you and the big vast ocean.

What would you do if your rudder broke thousands of miles from land?

Send this to someone you’d trust to face it with you.

Always a pleasure chatting with @ertan.beskardes 🤩

This is Ertan’s 3rd time in the @goldengloberace, as well as completing the @minigloberace earlier this year. Impressive!!

Best of luck Ertan! ⛵️ taken in Les Sables-d'Olonne by @hydrovane

We’ve arrived into Les Sables D’Olonne, France for the lead up to the @goldengloberace start on September 6th!

We’re excited to be here servicing all Hydrovanes in the fleet. Our first morning was spent with @3capespar & his team servicing his Hydrovane. Thanks Par and best of luck with the race! ⛵️
