The Broken Mast That Forced Her to Rebuild a Route
-
Letto da:

Di:
A yacht with no mast, one sailor aboard, and a thousand nautical miles of open water between her and the nearest land - in a sea where the cold alone can kill in minutes. When rescue is days away and the record you set out to break may already be gone, what do you build from the wreckage to get home?
In this episode, we follow Lisa Blair's path from hostess in the Whitsundays to solo ocean racer, tracing her early passages and milestones up to the moment her 2017 non-stop, unassisted Antarctic circumnavigation attempt was interrupted by a dismasting, asking whether that knockdown was the crisis of her voyage or only the beginning of a longer test.
Person: Lisa Blair
Location: Southern Ocean, approximately 1,000 nautical miles from land
Date: Day 72 of the 2017 Antarctic circumnavigation attempt
Case: the dismasting of the yacht Climate Action Now
Status: not stated
- She began working as a hostess at age 25 on a charter vessel in the Whitsundays.
- In 2008 she completed her first ocean passage as crew, delivering a yacht from Australia to Hawaii.
- In 2011 she served as watch leader, bowman, rigger, and helmsman aboard Gold Coast Australia, which won the 2011-12 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race overall.
- She borrowed a yacht one week before the 2014 Solo Tasman Challenge and completed the race.
- Her boat, a Hick 50 built in 2003 and originally named Funnel-Web, was renamed Climate Action Now.
- The goal of the 2017 attempt was to become the first woman to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica, beating the standing record of 102 days.
- On day 72, the yacht knocked down in the Southern Ocean and the mast was entirely gone.
