I have no idea of the tone on that question so... Everyone since the sail was invented. Every sailor at least.

- gcanyon 2y agoHeh, I was not being sarcastic, I just meant that the article seems to be at least as much about waiting for/predicting the right conditions as it is about the boat. Certainly before this article I understood the concept of not taking off for a sail in the middle of a storm, but it never occurred to me that setting a trans-Atlantic record required finding/predicting a weather system that would: 1. provide just the right conditions for maximum speed sailing 2. itself move across the Atlantic at a pace the boat could match, so as not to fall out of it.
