If you are in a life raft this is not much help as you have little influence over its direction or speed. If you are in a seagoing boat the binacle compass has a spike to use the sun's shadow to calibrate the compass, even if the compass error is huge. If you don't know how to look up the sun's azimuth you probably need to take or revise some courses before putting to sea.. If its just that the compass was smashed by the boom, and you don't have a back up (mostly we have electronic compasses too but not in GGR) use the hand bearing compass to steer.
Taught this in the Scouts more years ago than I care to remember
One of my favorite nav tricks - the Orion North Arrow!
Très utile
Get a 24h pilot watch!! Even easier!
Vicki Mackay teach this to Carl Mackay please
The full tour of Jeremy Bagshaw's entry in the #GGR2022 and his planning and preparation for the Race not far away. He is close to ready to go!!

Good luck 👍
One last winter for some and many of the #GGR2022 entrants are focused, working to close deadlines to be ready for the last run to the start just months away...this time next year it will be the Southern Ocean that lies ahead...for quite a few months!
The list of jobs is getting shorter for the first time since entering the GGR22. But the mast work is so important. It keeps me awake at night.
Fabulous and what a match...
Great game and sportsmanship!
Les Sables d'Olonne Home of the #GGR2022 now one of the most beautiful bays in the world!! :)Communiqué de Yannick Moreau, maire des Sables d’Olonne :
« Les Sables d’Olonne, mythique baie du Vendée Globe, devient officiellement l’une des Plus Belles Baies du Monde »
« Les Sablais et les très nombreux amoureux de notre belle ville en étaient convaincus, c’est maintenant officiel : Les Sables d’Olonne, mythique baie du Vendée Globe, connue et reconnue à travers les Océans, fait désormais partie des « Plus Belles Baies du Monde. »
Un prestigieux label obtenu après plusieurs étapes d’une sélection rigoureuse, menée par l’association internationale des « Plus Belles Baies du Monde - The Most Beautiful Bays in the World », qui rassemble quelques-uns des plus beaux sites littoraux de la planète.
Notre petit bout de Vendée a conquis les membres du Jury ; ils l’ont désigné à l’unanimité. Notre baie orientée plein sud, évidemment ; mais aussi nos plages sauvages, nos dunes et forêts, nos marais, notre architecture, notre identité et notre culture maritime ancestrale. Nos actions de préservation de l’environnement ont également retenu l’attention et pesé dans la balance du Conseil d’administration, qui fait de la protection de la nature une priorité.
Avec Les Sables d’Olonne, l’association compte désormais 45 baies dans 25 pays, parmi lesquelles figurent la Baie de Carthagène des Indes en Colombie ou celle de San Francisco en Californie mais aussi la mythique baie d'Along au Vietnam. Nous siégerons également aux côtés de nos compatriotes du Mont-Saint-Michel, de La Baule, de Vannes, de La Ciotat, de Porto et de Girolata.
Merci au Président Michel Bujold et à tous les membres de l’association pour leur confiance.
« Les Plus Belles Baies du Monde » peuvent compter sur Les Sables d’Olonne et la Vendée pour préserver ce trésor et porter leurs valeurs environnementales et maritimes autour du globe. »
Yannick Moreau

Sir Francis Chichester started the race against the great clipper ships that led to the first Golden Globe in 1968...Tapio explains well here the connection. In South Australia my birth place, the great grain race was a part of my own boyhood stories with South Australasian GRAIN and wool a huge percentage of the cargo...! #GGR2022....................From Tapio ....The legacy of the ship owner Gustaf Erikson means a lot to me, it has been a source of inspiration since my childhood. I have humble respect and admiration for the seamen who sailed on the Erikson windjammers yearly in the Great Grain Race in 1920-1949.
The first thing I did on my return to Finland after the 2018 Golden Globe Race was to visit Mariehamn and Gustaf Erikson's grave. I paid tribute to my great hero by pouring on the grave a splash of water which I had taken with me outside Cape Horn. It is great to see that there is great respect for the Erikson legacy in Mariehamn and the Åland Maritime Museum et al are doing fantastic work in preserving the archives, memorabilia and the four masted barque Pommern - maybe some day she will sail again!?
Important stuff... :)..... #GRR2022
Hi Pat, if you are replacing the backing plates with tangs it will give you options to uprate the Diameter of the wires as well. If you can upr. Good luck!ate the bottlescrews and chainplates as well so much the better
