Mark and Martyn in conversation on Elemental discuss the background to entering the race, why we want to race to the Azores and back, what we need to prepare, a qualifying passage, sailing short handed and racing experience.

Excellent and very informative conversation, putting meat on the bones of your joint intentions. Pleased to hear safety comes first and awareness of the situations that may arise. Well done guys in putting a very carefully considered plan and programme in place, this will pay dividends as you both progress down the track to making the start line in 2027.
This format is brilliant , really like the informal chats , you both clearly rub along in harmony , all part of developing into a very competent and knowledgeable team for this great adventure.
