Ready, Steady, Go : Leg 3 !10th March 2010
After a ten day stopover in Cape Town during which the crew of Oman Sail’s A100 Majan showcased their new Nigel Irens designed trimaran and promoted the future of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race to the local media and VIPs, ‘Majan’ left Cape Town today, heading for Cape Leeuwin and Fremantle, Australia. The third leg is 4,631 nautical miles taking the Majan crew into the infamous Southern Ocean before reaching the third cape of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race. This leg will take approximately 12 days sailing crossing one of the most feared oceans on the planet and Paul Standbridge and his crew, who are now joined by the French sailor Sidney Gavignet, will be looking to set a fast reference time between Cape Agulhas and Cape Leeuwin.
