Update from Sam Davies and Roxy
Posted October 1st, 2008 by Sam DaviesHello everyone! The last ten days has been really busy! We set off for the UK the weekend before last. The delivery trip was a solo training session, with me and Tanguy on board. It's better to sail in the channel with 2 so that we can keep a proper watch, as there is so much traffic. Also, with Tanguy on board, I work harder on my boat-speed, we work together on all the settings, and we have a good debrief, so I get more out of the trip. |
Roxy Jam - Sam Davies
Posted August 7th, 2008 by Sam DaviesOur adventures in the Pays Basque were VERY tiring, but LOTS of fun! We set off three weeks ago, in a nice Bay of Biscay storm - Westerly wind 30-45 knots! That was another good training session, as we screamed down towards Biarritz at speeds of over 20 knots! 14 hours after leaving Lorient, we swapped our ski-masks and drysuits for shorts and T-shirt as the wind dropped off and the sun came out. |

Roxy New Record Speed - Sam Davies
Posted June 8th, 2008 by Sam DaviesOn board ROXY, about 400 miles West of the Azores. On board Roxy with me are Xavier David, Guillame Helfer and Corentin Chenais. It is great to have my team mates on board with me. We have had a lot of fun and they are learning how Roxy behaves out here in the ocean. |
