This is the new solar panel support option! It allows for 6 370W LG panels to be placed aft of the rigging blocks located on the cockpit roof. I believe this option is only available when going for the "ES" (Extended Scoop) model/option, as that model has more buoyancy aft. The two panels that are in front of the four you can see are mounted athwartship (sideways), which opens up more access to the boom and also makes those panels less likely to be shaded by the boom or mainsail. In addition to the above, it also provides shade/protection for the tender. These supports are made from carbon fiber and then fiberglassed and carbon fibered onto the coach roof and each can support a person hanging from them. Mira is being built with these supports and a total of 8 370W panels. The additional two will be mounted forward on the coach roof; one on the port side, one on the starboard.
Living in a shipyard you don't expect to see a baby turtle up close and personal but we were lucky enough to do just that when this little one turned up! While we often spot adult turtles out on the water in Chaguaramas, Scotland Bay, Gasparee and Chacachacare, and have even swum with them before in the Philippines, this was our first time watching a baby go past.
While several of The Famous Project crew already have circumnavigations to their names, some many times, taking a 32m Ultim tri through the deep south from the Cape of Good Hope to the notorious Cape Horn took the entire crew into new territory. Little surprise then that turning the corner at the bottom of the world is such a big deal.
