Green Dragon off in 30+ knots...

2000-mile qualification passage - Day 1 (Location: 51 deg 21.8 N 09 deg 23.2 W). Ian Walker: “We are bracing ourselves for a sustained 30+ knots and the first real test of the boat in the open ocean. It is not without some trepidation that we head into this system as we can ill afford the time to our program that major damage could cost us, but as always, it is better to find these things out sooner than later. We also need the training in these conditions and it is too easy to put it off” - http://www.greendragonracing.com/
