Difficult weather conditions for Giovanni Soldini and his team
Maserati is expected to cross Cape Horn in 2000 miles
Over the last 48 hours, after a very fast descent from New York to Rio de Janeiro, Maserati finally slowed down.
Standing as the gate to enter the southern ocean, a wide and unmoving cold front had the Italian boat trapped in a dead-calm zone with no winds, mixed with sudden squalls and wind shifts.

GIOVANNI SOLDINI’S LOGBOOK
“We left New York six days ago. For the first 24 hours it was freezing cold! The morning we left New York we were busy breaking the ice on the deck, around the rails, on the sails… The air was freezing and the water was even worse. Leaving New York on a boat is always a unique experience, but as soon as we put to sea our emotions changed. Maserati dives down from the waves, like a wild horse of the seas galloping at over 30 knots!

The title says it all. It’s just soaking in now… with the Champagne.
Calling friends, team members… all are family tonight.
I’m sitting here with great French champagne all around and smiling people. VESTAS Sailrocket 2 sits outside on the lawn shivering lightly in the decreasing breeze. She has the noble composure of a race winning horse that struts around wondering what all the fuss is about.
The team at VESTAS Sailrocket are trying to work out why they keep hitting a limiting speed around 52 knots. The team are using a highly innovative concept to try and set the outright world speed sailing record. They think that their limit is being caused by too much drag on the foils rather than not enough power in the wing. This video gives an insight into the teams activities whilst they are waiting for wind.
