Race 7

Race 7 is an epic 5,600 miles from China to Victoria across the Pacific, with our only points of reference being a waypoint to the south of Japan that we have to leave to port, and an upper limit of 48 degrees, which whilst it stops us following the great circle route (which is the quickest), also keeps us relatively out of harms way south of the Aleutian Islands.

Expectations are that it'll be tough; cold heavy weather, lots of wear and tear on the boat, and the challenge for crew of managing tiredness and health sufficiently to be able to pull their weight.
