Maybe they should invite Sir Richard he has experience crossing the Atlantic in a fast boat maybe still has access to it as a safety boat. Didn't he also cross the channel with his kite.

Sounds like a great adventure, this is true future of Kitesurfing!

Also invite him to the Rottnest to Leighton as a warm up.

There again he might end up on the wrong Beach

Last time the boat Branson Used was sailed was the fastnet and her keel fell off. She was badged rambler that race. Now she has a huge hole in the side no rig,sails or electrics and about a 2mill rebuild minimum. Think they might need another...

An open 60 tri should be up the task, wing nets as big as a small beach !!
