Alicante - Cape Town Victory and absolute record for Ericsson 4
Slight happened! In 24 602.22 hours Nm to a infernal rate thanks to two chained depressions has gotten to cross that the VOR70 impelled until the 35 knots of end in some planning doing average of 25 knots and managing to compute up to 1,167 Nm in 48 hours which gives an incredible accountant of 2,161 kilometers crossed without stopping in 48 hours. Ericsson 4 has arrived triumphant at Cape Town after 22 days on the high seas and 6,500 miles crossed. 8 points more for the equipment of the Olympic multimedallista establishes that it like leader of the general classification. A stage very disputed then from the flying goal of Fernando de Noroa existed a quintuple ties. A victory that knows to glory then besides breaking the mythical barrier of the 600 miles, the boat sailed less with a crew member since one of them had to disembark in green Cabo due to an infection in the knee.
To have beaten the record of the 600 miles in 24 hours ratifies the good one for making of all the crew and her high level of training. The men of Ericsson 4 have known to remove to all the yield from the boat designed by the Argentinean Juan Kouyoumdjian. As it already happened in the past VOR-2006 their designs seem to offer a greater structural capacity to hold the brutales efforts of oceanic navigation without for that reason yielding in yield against the Farr.
The same day that Ericsson 4 beat the record of the world sailing in one night of crazy people with winds of 40 knots, waves of 6 meters and with a boat that envelope they crashing of wave in wave flew, the Telephone black of Fernando Echavarri punctured the prow in one of them losing the control of the boat. The result was destruction one of its rudders, the loss of boom and one of the luffs of drift besides tearing in infinite shreds one of spis. Dantescas conditions with gusts of wind of 48 knots that caused that the boats seemed authentic submarines beaten in all directions, while their crews fought hopelessly to remove a knot more to boats than they seemed as if they went away to destroy at any time.
Ericsson 4, gains a very tight stage and exciting consequence in addition a new record to the world. A perfect entrance in the bay of Cape Town crowned by the Table Montain, that gave the welcome them with a radiating sun. Toben Grael commented “We are more than contentments and the sensation is than good more, mainly after to have had to evacuate to Tony in front of the island of San Antón, in Green Cabo. The stage has been something is strange, with a first section that has become very long - by the Doldrums-. But the second section has been very, very fast. He has been brilliant, we passed the goal flying of Fernando de Norohna in second position and have gained the stage.” On the night in that they beat the record the sensation is perfectly defined in the commentary “Was a little crazy people. He was something as well as to drive a car at high speed, in one night closed and without lights. Nonéramos able to see by where those immense waves came to us”.
All the stage has been match says, because the fact to take rivals closely together forces to always go to top. The exit of the Mediterranean has been difficult with a passage by the Canary Islands complicated and dangerous. To cross the zone of the Doldrums has been more complicated in this occasion due to the great extension in this occasion of the intertropical convergence zone. The Green Dragoon crossed the floating goal of Fernando de Noronha in first position. Fifteen miles to their stern, followed the fight between 4 Ericsson and the Puma gained by the Ericsson that pointed the 3.5 points of the classified second whereas the Puma scored 3 points. Behind, the Telephone Black passed miraculous quarter being useful a corridor in the doldrums which allowed to raise positions him and to trim miles. 1- Green Dragoon, 4 points 2- Ericsson 4, 3.5 points 3- Puma Racing Team, 3 points 4- Telephone Black, 2,5 points 5- Telephone Blue, 2 points 6- Lloyd delta, 1.5 points 7- Ericsson 3, 0.5 points (by penalty) 8- Team Russia, Andreas Hanakamp. 0.5 points
