From Atlantic gales that swept through the fleets, to weather forecasts that threatened to cause havoc, the start of the 2025 Transat Cafe L'Or was a challenging one for organisers and competitors alike. Despite threading their way through the heavy duty Autumn Atlantic conditions by amending courses and setting a mandatory pit stop for the Class 40s, all four fleets were working hard to negotiate conditions at both ends of the scale. So, while this Transatlantic double handed-classic is well known for being a tough one, this year the stress just kept coming. We take a look at how the first 8 days of racing played out across the fleets.
The aquarium you choose will be the whole world for the fish you keep, so buy the biggest you can afford and have room for. Some fish may require more space than you might realize -- for instance, common goldfish require at least 20 gallons per fish and fancy goldfish require 10 gallons per fish. Find out the space requirements for any fish that you'll be keeping and follow them. However, remember that the minimum space requirements are just that -- minimums. If you can buy a tank larger than the minimum, do so for the comfort and health of your fish.
Literally the worst product you can use on your boat is 3M's 5200. It is such a powerful adhesive/bedding compound that it is almost impossible to remove hardware that has been bedded down with 5200. If you have 5200 on your boat please throw it all away, and replace it with 3M 4200 or a comprable Sikaflex product like Sika 291.
