I don't know if many of you are interested in ocean racing but I have the photos of all the competitors in my Gallery. I have added info on their placings for each leg so far. They have just finished leg 4 in Hong Kong.
I visited the ocean village in Alicante back in October which is the start port now.
At GKA we always handled all the comms for what was originally the Whitbread Round the World Race using HF RT and in the early days Sat C for weather etc. There used to be several classes but some years back they changed to a one class yacht. This years somewhat smaller as Ocean 65's.
There is a very good web site - which you can view and follow the action on a daily basis when they are racing. They even have a media member of the crew and use
drones to film the action. I will attach link. Next leg start Feb 1st.
