Thanks all for your support. We found the reason below the steering wheel. We'll try to repair it tomorrow.
The sudden tack with the kite up was really impressing.
Next leg saturday :)
Ciao

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia.

To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
