Panik mitt ute till havs när autopiloten slutar fungera. Vi har 3 dygn kvar till Panama och om vi ej får ordning på den behöver vi handstyra i 78h! Det låter kanske inte så jobbigt, men det är det. Autopiloten är vår tredje person som styr, som gör att vi kan ha händerna lite mer fria och ta hand om allt inklusive barnen. Utan autopilot hade vi aldrig gett oss ut på denna långsegling. Sagt och gjort, jag får sätta mig och handstyra medan Niklas öppnar luckorna ner till autopiloten för att se om vi kan se vad som hänt. Och självklart händer detta med 4m höga krabba vågor mitt i den välkända accelerationszonen utanför Colombia med 14-15m/s och som är kämpig redan som den är. Vi hittar vad som gått sönder och Niklas lyckas tillfälligt laga det. 🛠 Vi har filmat lite men behöver just nu fokusera att ta oss i mål, men vi kommer visa och berätta mer på söndagens avsnitt till Youtube (@sowhyknot) om vad som hänt och hur vi löste det. Nu håller vi tummarna för att det håller till Panama. Vi pustar ut lite, men är helt slut efter denna pärs! Nu är vi lite låga på energi 🪫, först efter dålig sömn pga accelarationszonens jobbiga vågor och sen efter denna händelse. Nu längtar vi till Panama och fast land igen. Bara 3 dygn kvar... om inget mer strular... Kommentera gärna med 💙 om ni vill ge oss lite pepp sista dagarna!

A drone above the altantic. To undertake the crewed around-the-world record is as much about the human adventure as it is a technical and sporting challenge. The men and women working alongside Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard at Spindrift racing have been preparing this race against the clock for almost three years. The target: to sail around the world in less than 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. The tough record they will try to beat was set by Loïck Peyron and his crew in 2012 on Banque Populaire V, which was renamed Spindrift 2 a year later. The French-Swiss team decided to use the same 40 m trimaran because they believed that the boat could be further optimised, a task that sailors, engineers and technicians at the team have been working on ever since. After countless hours of work at the boatyard and 40,000 nautical miles of racing and training, the Spindrift racing-prepared trimaran is all set to go. The team will officially go on stand-by on October 19th and wait for the ideal weather window.
