Beneteau 411 - VIDEO
“Hardly touched it in 6 days. Fantastic.”
“…much thanks to our hydrovane which performed true to fashion, just reminding us from time to time that we were over canvassed when it gusted to over 35 knots with 5 metre swells!”

Hi Guys
This video taken on the way from The Canaries to Cape Verdes a few days ago.
Hardly touched it in 6 days. Fantastic. For some reason Ted Devey’s address is not coming up so would appreciate if you could on forward this to him as well. We plan to depart here probably this Sunday for the actual crossing.
Was planning to go straight across but ran out of wind so deviated to Cape Verdes for Christmas.
Best regards
Richard and Phillipa Buchanan

No problem [to post] John. Glad that you have added to your files!
Just completed Atlantic crossing two days ago having done the crossing in 14 days, 22 hours from Cape Verdes with much thanks to our hydrovane which performed true to fashion, just reminding us from time to time that we were over canvassed when it gusted to over 35 knots with 5 metre swells!
Best regards
