Greetings again, intrepid SetSailors. Sarah Dashew here, with an update on our compilation of Deerfoot and Sundeer data. We’re excited to report that we have heard from 32 boats so far, with a total of 1,783,500 nautical miles and 21 circumnavigations combined under their hulls. The average mileage per boat<\/em> is 55,734 miles. That is some serious cruising, folks. And more are coming in everyday. Some owners have been kind enough to share from their personal photos of these yachts around the world, which we in turn are sharing with you. Also, at the bottom of this post, we have included links to various owner blogs, where you can follow their journeys and personal history in more detail.<\/p>\n But first, a SetSail contest:<\/p>\n We’re interested in learning some of your personal bests. Going on the honor system here (no cheating with photo-shopped speedometers), we are awarding two custom t-shirts to the winners for the following categories:<\/p>\n …And, in the honorable George Backhus category of reef sitting, longest period ever spent on a reef!<\/p>\n Photos are welcome and encouraged.
