Quote:
Let's say the crossing takes 4 hours, that will result in about 12 nm of drift north. Neil is planning on something close to a beam reach, which for wind out of the NE or say 45 degrees True, will mean a course of about 225 degrees. That is a bit too far south and I suspect will make the crossing quite a bit longer than 4 hours. So, they'll have to ride closer hauled than that with a NE wind. Christoph Ribot miamikiteboarding.com did an unusual crossing of his own via catamaran documented at: http://www.miamicatamarans.com/events.htm He also navigated one of the boats during the Key West to Cuba world record kiteboarding crossing. I wonder what Christophe would advise?
