There is a big deal race going on right now in the southern ocean. Two big trimarans, IDEC Sport (Francis Joyon) and Spindrift (Yann Guichard), are zooming around the planet at 30 knots chasing the Jules Verne trophy and the ghost of Banque Populaire V which set the record a few years back and is still very much in the race. They left Nov 22 and are halfway around the globe. Amazing! See all three tracks at http://volodiaja.net/Tracking/ and you can check out Spindrift sailing at http://www.spindrift-racing.com/jules-verne/drupal/en/media/drone-eng.
