Knockdown - intense moments for Scott Shawyer in the New York Vendée Race. Scott recounts what happened last night; a knockdown due to autopilot issues, the large A3 ‘spinnaker’ sail falling after the furler broke, and a time penalty for unintentionally breaking his engine seal.

Yesterday, Scott took advantage of a calmer moment to fly a drone and capture this footage. Poignant on World Ocean Day as this footage not only takes our breath away BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, reminds us what this team is about – it’s about OUR ELEMENT – WATER.
