Kirsten passerade runt 6 sjömil syd Kap Horn för drygt en timme sen och hade då tillryggalagt ca 21740 sjömil sen starten. Lagom muntert väder enl Windy, 12-13 sekundmeter, 16-17 i byarna, våghöjd 3-3,5 meter, regn och pälsmössa/handskar då temperaturen ligger runt 5-6 grader i området.
Hon ligger 16 dygn efter Jean-Luc van den Heede som rundade efter 148 dygn och vann GGR 2018 på 211 dygn 23 timmar. Förstapriset är detsamma som 1968, 5000 pund...

Another One Bites the Dust...
Tomy har det jobbigt nu... han ligger runt 20 sjömil utanför Patagoniens öde och ogästvänliga västkust med ett hemmagjort vindroder i hård pålandsvind och 5-6 meters våghöjd.

"Abhilash TomyOfficial Called #GGR2022 at 0852UTC to advise Failure of his Wind Pilot self steering gear and that he had used up all his Spare Pendulum Blades in previous failures. At 0852UTC he confirmed he has lashed the tiller and is now considering all options. At 0405UTC GGR had given Abhilash his position and a weather forecast as he was sailing along a LEE SHORE with increasing winds over the next 24 hours."
"At 1900Z 15th FEB Abhilash called to say he has made a new servo rudder from his spare rudder and hopes it holds for a few days at least and will continue on, but is NOT making course at the moment in the strong winds. He has been given his position and latest weather. YOU at 1800Z 15F 53. 35.92S 74. 39.66W...S32 G43 S5.6mSW 16F 0200Z S24 G36 S4.9SW 0900Z SW17 G24 3.8SW He had hit his head, but all ok and requires nothing. He just met an Indian ship whe also give him his position. He plans to tack when the wind drops soon."

Edit:
Kollade igenom seglingsinstruktionen och hittade ett tillägg till reglerna från GGR 2018. Finns en lösning för Tomy men han är nog inte så sugen på att ta steget ner i Chichester-klassen...
"5.1.5 Special equipment regulations
Y. Emergency Cockpit Electric Autopilots may be carried on board an Entrants
boat, only if all its components are secured in an approved container and sealed in
an approved manner, such that only by Breaking the security seal can the system
be installed. An entrant must submit comprehensive details of the chosen
container and method of security sealing it for approval to the organisers. If the
seal is broken for any reason whatsoever the Entrant will be moved to the
Chichester Class. Only the electrical wiring linking the pilot to the boat’s batteries
may be installed with one waterproof power plug on deck. No other installation
wiring or components are allowed."
