South African Sailing (SAS) has become the third International Sailing Federation Member National Authority to receive ISAF Recognized Training status for their National Training Programme (NTP). ISAF Training and Development Manager, Dan Jaspers, talks about the trip and what it means for SAS.

Here's what Stan had to say about guiding Groupama 3 around the world in 48 days 7 hours and 44 minutes shaving two days off the previous record circumnavigation. He talks about how the navigator plays a crucial role in getting the boat in the optimum wind and wave pattern. Stan believes its the great speed of the boat plus new predictive modeling that makes the difference. Because the boat is so fast it could sail right through a front or skirt a front if more advantageous. Getting the current weather and predictions every 4 hours makes for little sleep but let's the navigator make better choices about future conditions along the route. This year Loïck Peyron shaved almost three days off the record set by Groupama 3. Peyron's Banque Populaire V averaged 26.5 knots in their record breaking dash around the world. copyright for all on-board and sailing footage is held by Groupama
