In Episode 5 of Cape Horn to Port, we chat with world class sailor and navigator Christopher 'Lew' Lewis, who most recently navigated the 100' monohull Law Connect to a second place finish on line honors in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
We also discuss Thomas Coville and his crew setting the Trophy Jules Verne record for fastest boat to ever sail around the world, and Thomas beginning to pass the torch off to Benjamin Schwartz. We recap The Famous Project and their record for a female fully crewed circumnavigation on a multihull.
Belgian sailor Quentin Debois has just set a new record for sailing a Mini 6.50 racing sailboat across the Atlantic from East to West, while the maxi-trimaran Gitana 18 is undergoing final commissioning. The all new Sam Manuard designed 50' scow Palanad 4 wins the RORC Transatlantic race overall, and not by a little, but a LOT!
