Tropic 4 Cancer Trans Atlantic challenge is an expedition to sail single-handed 4000 miles across the Atlantic, from the western seaboard of Africa to Antigua. The route follows a defined course along the Tropic of Cancer, which is a circle of latitude running around the Earth at approximately 23 degrees north, and which marks the most northerly position at which the sun may appear directly overhead.

Ready to leave Salterns Marina in Poole

Posted on October 14th, 2013

Orange bottom!Yacht Haskapa is almost ready to begin the long journey South to Gibraltar. The team at Salterns Marina lifted the boat out for a scrub down and repaint. Haskapa now sports a shiny florescent orange keel and rudders!!

On Tuesday morning, the yacht will be loaded on to the trailer, and then head towards the ferry for northern Spain. All being well, we’ll be in Gibraltar by Friday.

A massive thank you to Nick Smith and the team at Salterns for all the help and support they’ve given during the training and preparations in the UK. It would have been impossible to get to this stage without them.
