time
for a new beginning
15 April - There is always a time for a new beginning and
now is that time for Team Adventure. After almost four years on the sideline,
the TA team is back up and running with a new objective: to rewrite the
record books in all major offshore records. The first one is to be the first
boat to circumnavigate the world in less than 50 days. The current Jules
Verne around-the-world record stands at an incredible 50 days,16 hours,
20 minutes and 4 seconds set by Bruno Peyron and his team on Orange II.

looking
ahead
10 January - The Team Adventure crew worked very hard to
secure backing to participate in the Oryx Quest 2005, but were not successful.
Disappointed, but not discouraged, they have refocused their efforts and
now have their sights squarely on the second event out of the Middle East,
the Quest Qatar 2006. This event, due to start from Doha, Qatar, in November
2006 immediately following the Asian Games, will pit maxi-multihulls and
maxi-monohulls against each other for the first time in head-to-head competition.

around the world and actually sailing around the world. Once the start gun
fires the boat takes off, its voyage unimpeded and with blistering speed
the task of circumnavigating gets done one mile at a time. In stark contrast
getting to the start line is step by step series of setbacks and frustration.
And so it is for Cam and the Team Adventure team as they prepare for The
Oryx Cup. That’s not to say that progress is not being made. read
