Summary

#370: Don McIntyre returns to the podcast to talk about the second edition of the Golden Globe Race – a retro, solo, non-stop around-the-world race. Departing on their start from France on Sept 4, 2022, the fleet is now approaching the Canary Islands. I caught up with Don while he was in Lanzarote awaiting the first media drop from the fleet. We talked about the differences between the GGR this year and the last time around in 2018, who his favorite skippers are, what some of our favorite boats are and what he expects of the second edition of these sailors going round the world.

0:00.0	So what happened with Abelish? I saw a picture not too long before the start where the bow of his
0:07.2	boat was missing. Yeah, I mean, they had a big effort. Yeah, he had a collision with a ship. He was down
0:13.6	below and had a crew member on board. It was during the prologue and they basically teaboned the
0:18.3	back quarter of a ship and ripped the, you know,
0:20.8	smashed the bow of the boat, which was very unfortunate. And anyway, when they got to La Sard de Lone, huge effort to try and get it sorted and they did that. Dick Coopman's, who used to be Mark Slatz's manager, you know, he's a boat-builder designer. He got a team together because everything was on holidays in La Sáved Alone.
0:41.5	And they came down with a new bow, chopped it off and put a new one on and got everything sorted and they're underway. And the boat looks good. You know, he passed all the requirements
0:45.0	that we need to recertify the boat and all his gear. And so he's off.
0:52.0	I'm the most self-conscious one I'm by myself.
0:55.4	Oh, that's weird.
0:56.6	All right, Emma.
0:57.4	Sound check.
0:59.4	What did you have for breakfast this morning?
1:04.7	Oh, I had a late breakfast.
1:06.6	It was two fried eggs and toast.
1:08.7	I think I washed your pan in the stove.
1:09.1	Thank you.
1:10.1	You're welcome. You didn't even look at the stove. Thank you. You're welcome.
1:12.2	You didn't even look at the levels.
1:12.8	I did.
