Race 9 day 6; Santa Cruz to Panama
The Clipper Round the World fleet still have nearly 2000 knm to race before reaching the finishing this leg in Panama. There is currently some close match racing going on between the lead boats whilst the rest of the fleet are jostling for positions. EMT ambassador Dan Monk is racing aboard Nova Scotia who are currently lying in 7th position. At the moment they are experiencing light downwind conditions and are trimming constantly to try and maintain maximum boat speed.
Dan has sailed with the Trust since 2003, coming back year after year
despite a relapse. Eventually qualifying as a Yachtmaster and working
for the trust last year as a skipper. Funding for Dan to take part in
this historic race has come in the form of Philip Green memorial trust
and JP Morgan Asset Management. Dan is hoping to raise 25p for every
mile sailed please click here to donate
