GGR Entrant Live interview NO. 21 with Australian Entry Captain Coconut Mark Sinclair.
Ask Coconut if he is touring South Africa this time around.
Question for Mark - how do you plan to deal with the Battle of the Barnacles or will it be top secret ! Yvonne in Falmouth ☘️⚓️☘️
Cant wait the start.good luck from perth austrailia
Love the rawness that is GGR, even off the water!
If our "fat lady sings" we will be at Le Sables in 2022!!
Well done again guys!! Thankyou..
.shackles??? I thought the GGR was a solo effort. Haha, not sure what the shackles will be for. Maybe he means Shackleton?
Slow circums are good!!
Hi from Cape Town Don.
I'm here!!
Coconut!
lol, that pronunciation was horrible :)
Hi Mark a nd Don! Wishing you all the best!
We need more Aussies :)
Hello, I'm ready for a good laugh ;)
Hello from Oslo😊
Nottingham here
Good day mate
Hi folks, greetings from sunny Falmouth
What are you passionate about? Sailing I hope...🤨😂
Afternoon Ertan! Looking well!
Hey Capn Coconut!!!
Hi from Ireland Kerry
Hi Sandra
Aïda Valceanu!!!
Our only Italian entry is finally out training in his beautiful and potentially fast Vancouver 34!! with plenty of time between now and the start of #GGR2022 ....looking good indeed!Last week Hannah and I finally took to sea after long months and years of hard work and yard sessions, only interrupted
by sporadic sailing stints of some hours around Punta Ala in very benign summery breezes.
The time has finally arrived for some serious sailing in conditions which promise to be testing for both boat and skipper given they will take place in the Autumn, Winter and 2021 Spring seasons . A lot of work remains to be done, but the major projects have been completed and it's time to refine the details that only spending time on the water can solve.
The original plan was to start sailing Hannah at the beginning of September to gradually build up training to the more trying conditions of the Winter months. Unfortunately COVID 19 had set us back three months and only the brilliant and untiring work of the whole team has allowed us to make up for most of that lost time.
Now it's time to have some serious fun on the water and do a bit of constructive damage to understand the limits of boat and skipper, overcome them and push onto the next phase. Let the games begin !
Looking great Guido
Yeah, it's him, Captain Coconut Mark Sinclair, no need to say too much for now🤣 Don't miss out this Tuesday Live😉
This’ll be a good ‘un for sure!

GGR Entrant Live interview NO. 20 with South African Entry Jeremy Bagshaw.
South Africa /South Australia...hmmm strong connections..
Good luck jerry respect
Iv gone from racing bikes to sailing ⛵️ and love it
Aida what’s it like in France for COVID
Great call, good to get to know the skippers on these calls. Thanks.
So sorry, I have to go.. it's very late.
One day you’ll have a manx men 🇮🇲
Don when are you going to be interviewed? Would love to know how you coped with GGR2018, what did you learn and what are you doing differently? To suggest a few questions....
It will be poetic justice when the Lello 34 - a South African design - wips Jeremy’s arse. 😎
Allan Lawrence says you got it planing...
Hey mark are you doing ggr again hope so as your phone calls were class
Thanks Don for another great interview, Jeremy will be one to watch I think, the quiet reserved ones are always full of surprises!
Just saw the first half of David Scott film Inspiring.
I can vouch that Jeremy is one smart sailor!
Always happy to see your big smile, captain Coconut ! ☀️
when you come to les sables call me
Waterlinelength is essential for boatspeed, kostertype boats have have the longest waterline compared to totallength...
Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Hello guys from rainy Falmouth ☘️⚓️☘️
All the best to Jane Jane!
Having fear is key. Fear gaves you the answers. You iver curle up in a ball or you get up and do what needs to be done. Fear is healthy
Questions Don missed: will Jeremy sail the boat to start? What repairs needed? Race number and why😂😂
Remain as humble as you are Jeremy.
Hello from Cape Town Don.
You all have a good chance of winning, I dont think there is any norwegians entering...😊
I first met David Scott Cowper on his first solo voyage around the world to beat Sir Francis Chichester's record in 1979 and have been lifelong friends since. He will be 80 when he crosses the start line of the #GGR2022. Here is just part of his story if you have the time :) he is considered by some as the Greatest Living yachtsman??
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjWfEhblcOc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1pC-K-l1Ub8NN-DMQfMhtnRTHDUvgClrA...David Scott Cowper has successfully solo sailed around the world in both directions. We met up with him and Jane Maufe to discuss their latest feats: Solo ci...
I met him on boot Düsseldorf. Very nice guy. He told he put grease on the aries steering lines to prevent them from shaving. It worked really wel he said
"It can be quite cold..."

This winter Tapio will be back working on ASTERIA in preparation for the #GGR2022. this is a great story about a GREAT sailor with a program that is inspiring many! :) The Finnish skipper’s voice cracks slightly as he describes the flotilla of Optimist dinghy sailors who greeted him on his arrival in Helsinki after finishing fifth the 2018-19 Golden Globe Race
For him, it is a more cherished memory than finishing his 322-day solo circumnavigation of the world and ranks equal to hoisting the Finnish flag as he rounded Cape Horn; the first time it has been raised there on a racing boat in three decades.

Tapio Lehtinen: A love affair with sailing - Yachting Monthly
yachtingmonthly.com
The 2018 Golden Globe Race finisher Tapio Lehtinen tells Katy Stickland why his next adventure will be the pinnacle of his decades-long sailing career
Mark Sinclair is looking good! National Flags are required on all #GGR2022 Mainsails. It is all about the Stories, Nationalities and Heros! :)sticking the Australian flag on Coconut's mainsail to satisfy addition to Golden Globe Race Notice of Race 5.4.3. Entrant's national flag to be permanently fixed to both sides of the mainsail, 40cm high, 75cm from the clew and 40cm above the foot. Winter mainsail done; now swap them over and do the summer one. Thanks Bravo Sails for sourcing the printing on sticky-back sail material, not to mention Wilson and Hamish for the help!
Nice Jack.
Gaurav is going to win the #GGR2022....here he tells why!! :)
GGR gives me enough reasons to prove a point to win everyday
This Tuesday #GGR2022 Facebook Live, we will have our South African Entry Jeremy Bagshaw and his OE32 masthead cutter "Olleanna"..... "Olleanna" was doing so well, was flying with Are Wiig in #GGR2018 Don't miss out the live😉...
I spotted Olleanna in RCYC 🇿🇦 in March ‘19
Looking forward to it😉
Great to hear that Olleanna has been repaired and will have a new go. This Olle Enderlein-design performs really well, especially down-wind, so I really look forward following her once again. I was also impressed by the seamanship Aare Wiig proved by sailing the damaged vessel to port in South-Africa.
Can’t wait!
It's OFFICIAL...every Friday we will share Mike Smith's analysis of the #GGR2022 Ghost fleet, as if they were racing this year. You will see the possible Windyty weather they would have if in that position and times associated with sailing around the course. This is of great interest to entrants, but also our GGR family to gauge the difference in the expected weather sailing about two months behind the #GGR2018 fleet. THANKS Mike!! :) ..good sailing for now
WOW... #GGR2022 entrant Mike Smith is running a program to simulate the GGR fleet moving around the world and looking at the weather experienced...invaluable info for future entrants....maybe top secret for Mike :) ..but here is a taste...wining is all about PLANNING, PREPARATION and then EXECUTION! :)
The Golden Globe and Vendee Globe are together still in Les Sables d'Olonne with two entrants and one organiser on the marina with the clever Public Relations chief Aida managing the day!! the Imocas are starting to arrive! #GGR2022
Le petit côté « vintage » noir et blanc Trop la classe 🤗🤗❣️
While you are there, you may want to ask them about the following line on the VG website: "To date, the Vendée Globe is THE ONLY (🧐) sailing race round the world, solo, non-stop and without assistance." I love the VG and can't wait for the start, but isn't that a bit unfair to the GGR?
GGR Entrant Live interview NO. 19 with Italian Entry Guido Cantini.
