1. EDITORIAL
The
tragic loss of Hans Horrevoets 32, the Dutch crew member onboard ABN
Amro 2, competing in the 2005 - 06 Volvo Ocean Race, brings with
it the sobering reality of the dangers each person faces when going to
sea and how in a matter of seconds life onboard can turn from a happy
scenario into complete turmoil. Since the first Whitbread Race in 1973
there have been four fatalities and with each and every race, yachts are
fitted with new equipment and meet stringent safety requirements. By race
time the crews for the toughest race in the world have thoroughly researched
and carried out man over board safety drills but as professional racers
they know the sea can be a dangerous and very unpredictable place where
they earn their living.
Even
with the best of boat preparations and taking all the safety precautions
there is a likelihood that someone may not be coming home as they tear
around around the world at breakneck speeds in the roughest of oceans
and worst weather conditions nature can throw at them. Skipper Seb Josse
and the crew of ABN Amro 2 not only stopped the boat at night
under main, fractional spinnaker and staysail in 25 - 30 knots of wind
but turned around, motored back over a mile in big dark seas and managed
to locate Hans the washed over crew member and bring him back onboard.
Unfortunately their attempts to resuscitate him were not successful.
With
all the excitement and rewards that sailing brings to us we should always
be mindful to the dangers we may face whether sailing across oceans or
local harbours and bays plus be alert of the perils that are waiting for
us in every step of our lives both at sea and ashore. This is a reminder
that, no matter how exciting, exotic or adventurous ocean racing may seem,
this can be a very dangerous game. When the sea takes one of our own,
we all feel it and all know that many of us are very lucky not to have
suffered a similar fate. Sailing Anarchy has created The Hans
Horrevoets Memorial Fund. Please make a donation, in memory of
Hans for the benefit of his beloved Petra, Bobbi and Bump at: http://www.sailinganarchy.com/donations/hhmf.php
Within a few days the ABN Amro 2 crews outstanding seamanship
was called upon again as they diverted course with the body of their Dutch
crew-member, Hans Horrevoets still onboard, to come to the aid of the
stricken Movistar, transferring all 10 crew over after skipper
Bouwe Bekking decided to abandon ship about 300 miles southwest of Land's
End.
Important Safety note:
The tragedy on ABN Amro 2 again proves the responsibility of
all Skippers and crew on pleasure craft to know how to perform a Crash
Stop - MOB recovery. UK Halsey Sailmakers have produced a MOB video available
on-line at: http://www.ukhalsey.com
This is a must see and procedure to be shared with all crews - It could
save a life.
Safe and happy
sailing were ever you are
Capt Marty Rijkuris
2 "Unluckiest sailors of the month"
Gipsy
Moth IV, the 53 ft ketch Francis Chichester sailed around the world
in, grounded on Rangiroa, a low lying coral reef surrounding the largest
of the Toumotu group of atolls while on passage from the Marquesas to
Tahiti. Skipper Antonia Nicholson and five crew were taken off and all
are safe. 'These deserving, young people had been selected to partake
in one of the legs of a two-year voyage sailing around the world.' said
David Green, CEO of the UK Sailing Academy.
After
spending six anxious days on the reef Richard Baggett, the UKSA leader
of the Gipsy Moth IV project and the salvage team led by Captain
Kleijwegt of Smit reported "That the operation went without a hitch
and within 30 minutes of the tug reaching the scene, Gipsy Moth
was gently guided to deep water by a team onboard before being towed safely
two hundred miles into Papeete, Tahiti. There was some water ingress but
this was easily containable with the diesel powered bilge pump, there
is some damage to the rudder and as expected the starboard side has suffered
scraping from the rocks". On arrival Gipsy Moth IV was lifted out
of the water and the damage assessed by Kiwi surveyor John MacDonald for
transshipment to Auckland. With that achieved we are free to focus on
getting the boat repaired in New Zealand and getting back on track expecting
to depart for Sydney on 23 June. Skipper Antonia Nicholson and First Mate
Chris Bruce have since been removed from their positions. ' There can
be no denying that this has been a major setback for our project and we
will now have to redouble our fundraising efforts if we are to continue
with the voyage. Like Sir Francis we will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves
of and start all over again. To do anything less would be to fail the
‘Chichester Challenge’.
Going
down quickly
After a number of self-destructions last year the 60ft trimaran circuit
has seen a stark decline in competitors. If that was not enough the weather
conditions in the Baie des Anges have been tough, not to say fierce! Friday
saw the dismasting of Gitana 12 then Banque Populaire IV
capsized on Saturday, while Gitana 11 burst her mainsail battens
on Sunday. All in all, it's been a very lively Trophée du Conseil

First Win for Uniquely Singapore
Uniquely Singapore crossed the shortened finish line for the Race 8 at
1353 GMT Tues 30 May, bagging their first win in the Clipper 05-06 Round
the World Yacht Race. The Singaporean boat finished just off the coast
of Mexico, [20 44.49 North 107 05.85 West] with Durban crossing the line
soon after at 1600 GMT. The Singaporean crew has led for much of the 2,200
mile race and this win marks their first podium finish. However, there
will be no time for either boat to stop for celebratory tequilas as the

Thailand finally acknowledges Sailboats as vessels
The Marine Department has announced that Thai-registered sailing vessels
of 16 meters (52.4 feet) or less no longer need to have a Thai skipper
or crew on board when in Thai waters. Vincent Tabuteau, Managing Director
of Asia Marine, a member of the Marine Alliance of Thailand (MAT), an
informal consortium of marine businesses in Thailand, explained to the
Gazette that the new rule also includes a definition of a sailboat, which
did not exist previously under Thai marine regulations. 'Before, when
applying for commercial licenses sailboats had to be categorized as being
for transportation, for cargo or for fishing – but charter sailboats
are none of these. Without a proper definition of a sailing boat it was
difficult for government officials to regulate the commercial activity
of yacht charter' he said. 'The new definition alleviates a major insurance
headache for bareboat charters, Mr Tabuteau added.
Meanwhile, at Ao Chalong, the Phuket Marine Office has announced it will enforce regulations designating areas for foreign vessels to moor in an attempt to control marine traffic, prevent criminal activity and reduce damage to reefs. Royal Thai Marine Law dictates that foreign vessels must tie up in Chalong Bay so that officials can check the boat before it sails to other destinations, he said, and all vessels must register at Phuket Pier Controlling Center, also in Chalong. 'Anyone who ignores this order is liable to a fine of between 500 baht and 5,000 baht, or up to three months in jail, or both,' K. Surin stressed.

Can the Chagos Islanders finally go home?
Between 1965 and 1973 more than 2,000 Chagos islanders were forcibly removed
and exiled from their homes in the Indian Ocean paradise isle to make
way for the Diego Garcia US airbase have won a High Court victory in London.
Lord Justice Hooper and Mr Justice Cresswell ruled that orders made under
the royal prerogative to prevent the return of the Chagos islanders to
their homes were unlawful. They described as 'repugnant' the action to
exile the population of the islands. After the hearing islanders called
on the Queen to apologise for what her government had done and said they
hoped to return home as soon as possible. The Foreign and Commonwealth
Office was given 28 days to appeal. A spokesman said: 'We are disappointed
at the judgment.' More recently the northern islands have become a stopover
haven for Blue Water sailors venturing into the Indian ocean while to
the south the American's have deployed aircraft and ships used in the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bullimore takes Doha Asian
Games around the world
Round the world yachtsman Tony Bullimore and his 102ft catamaran Daedalus
is to carry the flag for the 2006 Asian Games in a series of world sailing
record attempts. First an attempt to break the 70 day barrier in a solo
non-stop circumnavigation that will start and finish in Hobart, Tasmania,
then continue with a series of record chasing voyages between Japan, China,
the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and India, before returning to Qatar
in time for the Asian Games 1st and 15th December. The boat will be named
at a public ceremony in Doha and will then embark in June on a shake down
record attempt from Qatar to Perth, 
Australia,
before Tony Bullimore hoists sail in July at the start of his solo circumnavigation.
The record attempt will be overseen by the World Sailing Speed Record
Council which has stipulated a specific course. This takes in Cape Horn,
a way-point off Rio de Janeiro, round the island of Fernando do Noronha
off the Brazilian coast close to the Equator, then across the Atlantic
to a way-point north of Flores in the Azores, before turning south to
round Cap Vert, Dakar, the Cape of Good Hope and south of Australia back
to Hobart.
Abdulla Khalid Al Qahtani, the Director General of the Doha Asian Games Organizing Committee said that Tony Bullimore and his 102ft catamaran (the much-modified ENZA New Zealand) would not only provide considerable publicity for the Asian Games being staged in Doha between 1st and 15th December, but would carry Qatar's sporting message right around the Asian Continent.

On the verge of Sailability Timor?
While problems in Dili headline the news of late, Sailability has brought
positive news to the East Timoriens with the announcement of plans to
establish Sailability Timor. Melbourne sailors Therese Kersten and her
partner John Hughan have lived as volunteers in East Timor for two years
now and wanted to help local fishermen and the numerous disabled people
in the community, many of whom have injuries resulting from mustard gas
attacks.
They contacted Sailability’s Jackie Kay in Sydney some time ago and Kay, as always, was enthusiastic. The Access Dinghy Foundation, through its founding director, Chris Mitchell, applied to an impressed AusAid for US$20,000 to get the program up and running. The announcement was made at Sailability’s new Point Piper headquarters at the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Rose Bay, which was made possible by famous yachtsman Denis O’Neil and his son Ned, who is President of the new Point Piper outlet. Once funding is in place, Hughan will work as a volunteer full time on the Timor project, with Kersten helping out. Currently, Sailability Timor could do with a kick start to their plans, an aluminium dinghy and outboard motor sail cloth or old sails, ropes and sail thread would be manna from Heaven – new or second hand. They look set to put the first boat in the water on July 1st, pending funding.

VX40's sailing to the max and more
Tues 30th May Portsmouth, United Kingdom: The Volvo Extreme 40's did what
they are designed to do - entertain. In 15-25 knots the final race saw
two of the teams, overall series leaders Tommy Hilfiger and Volvo Ocean
Race, upside down. Tommy Hilfiger helmed by Randy Smyth performed a spectacular
cartwheel after they dug the front of the boat in whilst they were leading
the race. The boat got to the point of no return and all of the crew members
tumbled from the high side, through the air and into the water. In exactly
the same spot, just one lap later, Volvo Ocean Race helmed by the class
designer Yves Loday mirrored the mistake and although they didn't do a
complete cartwheel, they did capsize the boat causing them to forfeit
a result from that race. Further info and results log onto http://www.VolvoExtreme40.org

She has done us proud...
Yachtswoman Dee Caffari, 33, has triumphed over extreme isolation, lethal
icebergs, mountainous waves, vicious storms and hurricane force winds
to set a new world record as the first woman to sail round the world solo,
non-stop against the prevailing winds and currents. Caffari's record-breaking
29,100 mile voyage on the 72-foot Aviva lasted 178 days, 3 hrs, 6 mins
and 15 secs. She crossed the official finish line in sight of the observer
from the World Sailing Speed Record Council off Lizard Point, UK, and
completed a passage which ensures her a place in maritime history. "When
I crossed the line I was overwhelmed with emotion, it was the proudest
moment of my life and becoming the first woman to complete this voyage
is a great honour". On a gray stormy day Caffari made her way to
Ocean Village in Southampton, UK where HRH The Princess Royal, Patron
of The Challenge Business International Limited and Sir Chay Blyth, the
first man to complete the voyage in 1971 plus a big crowd of well wishers,

Yves Parlier finally gets Aquitaine up to speed...
Sailing alone aboard Médiatis Région Aquitaine, Yves Parlier
sailed 587.4 miles in 24 hours (subject to ratification of the WSSRC).
With an average speed of 24.47 knots, he improved the record by a distance
of 47 miles, held since 1994 by Laurent Bourgnon. The team could not hide
its emotion. 'We have fought for it (this record) since the beginning
of the launch of Médiatis Région Aquitaine. This record
rewards the work of all the teams, who have prepared the hydraplaneur
since the beginning of the adventure and have mobilised around this Aquitain
project'. In the Canaries Islands, Stéphane Hervé, Lalou
Roucayrol, Christophe Gouineau, Romaric Neyhousser and Rémi Beauvais
stayed up all night to assure safety and control speeds. This record is
the first real prize for Parlier since he launched his radical catamaran
with its twin rigs, one mounted in each hull and its unusual stepped hulls,
a shape taken from sea plane underbellies back in January 2004. More at:

Asian Records falling by the wayside...
Olivier de Kersauson's trimaran Geronimo, in the colors of Capgemini and
Schneider Electric, crossed the finishing line of the 1650 mile new route
between Yokohama and Hong Kong setting a record time of 4 days 17 hrs,
47 mins 23 secs. After enduring a few light patches the final time does
not, however, represent Geronimo's full potential on this course. But
as in all new challenges, one needs a "first" to establish precedent.
As these racing opportunities in the Pacific and Asia continue to beckon,
Olivier de Kersauson and his team continue to respond. A threatening hurricane
approaching Hong Kong caused Olivier de Kersauson to abandon the return
leg as a record and left HK early to sail back to Yokohama for an attempt
at the Pacific record to San Francisco. Event website: http://www.trimaran-geronimo.com
