A solo sailor competing in the Golden Globe Race reports on boat performance and safety procedures while navigating toward Lanzarote. The vessel, a Rustler, maintains a speed of approximately 4.5 to 5 knots with two reefs in the mainsail and an inner staysail deployed.17:15 To manage heavy sea states, the sailor secures himself to the galley with a belt while cooking and moves on all fours when conditions are rough.37:48 The onboard Starlink system requires a 20-minute stabilization period before each daily broadcast to ensure a reliable connection.16:13 The sailor monitors battery levels, which dropped to 96.6% due to prolonged cloud cover, and uses a Hydrovane self-steering system, noting that the unit’s shaft was recently replaced.1:26:52 Three other race competitors are sighted within a 20-mile radius, though identification remains difficult due to sea conditions.59:18 The sailor plans to maintain a 10-mile offshore buffer to avoid fishing fleets while approaching the island.1:41:41
