After approximately 53 hours at sea, Oman Sail’s A100 Majan has covered more than 500 miles since leaving Muscat and the Omani coast behind, heading south for their first stopover in the Maldives another 900 miles down the track. The six-man crew have already dealt with a variety of conditions from little wind to 25+ knots and an uncomfortable sea state, combined with sweltering conditions down below.  Once at sea it is easy to forget life on land but as Mark Covell, media crew on board Oman Sail’s A100 Majan, spared a small thought for America’s 33rd Cup that should have begun today on Monday, February 8th: “When we all look back in yachting history and remember where we were - when a monster catamaran raced a monster trimaran for the 33rd Americas Cup; we can proudly say that we were racing a ‘Giant - the A100 ‘Majan’!” PS the first day of the America’s Cup was postponed due to lack of wind!
