Derek Hatfield and Spirit of Canada, with some mutual friends, in Halifax Harbour. Photo by Ed Sulis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Canada’s Derek Hatfield (who makes his home in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia), was forced to retire from the Vend\u00e9e Globe round the world, non-stop solo sailing race in December, due to damage to his boat.\u00a0 He nursed his Algimouss Spirit of Canada<\/em> to Hobart, Tasmania, where he fixed the damage, and on February 27, he left Hobart, determined to complete the course of the race, even if he is no longer officially in it.\u00a0 Thus he will gain valuable solo experience and the knowledge of his Open 60 equal to that of anyone who completes such a race.\u00a0 He will not get the support from the race organizers that he would have had were he still in the race.\u00a0 However, he will be sailing along parts of the route in the company of some other major offshore races.<\/p>\n

The Vend\u00e9e Globe is gradually wrapping up with the final three boats now in the North Atlantic and due to reach France in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Fair winds, Derek.\u00a0 Hope to see you back home safe and sound in a couple of months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
