188nms on 10/1 and on the midday to midday run on the 11th we covered in 72
nms 12hrs and had a 24hrs run of 172 nms.
When you consider that most owners would be very happy to get close to a 200nms 24hr run with all the sails up in any
conditions, only goes to show how powerful these Cookson 40's are, to say
that we covered nearly 200nms with only a small jib up shows how quick these
boats really are.
I think delivery wise we are over half way now and we are going to shack to
main out as we speak.
So I'll report in again tomorrow.
Cheers from the delivery team on Akatea.
