Maserati currently in New York awaiting appropriate weather system, she’s ready to go!
The route 2925 nautical miles passing south of the Terranova Island.
The record that Maserati must break is currently held by Robert Miller who, back in 2003, sailed the route in 6 days, 17 hours, 52 minutes, 39 seconds on board of the monohul Mary Cha IV (with an average speed of 18.5 knots.
We wish everyone on board a safe passage and good luck in their record attempt.

NB:- Tom, replacement crew picture does not yet appear on the official web site crew pics, but will later in the week.

Looks fun
Best of luck
Bob

Tom just called me to say that, there is an opening in the weather window that team Maserati have been waiting for, so it looks like the GREEN LIGHT
If the weather window holds for the remainder of the day, team Maserati during the night will cast off on the high tide out of North Cove Marina to get to the start point "Ambrose Light New York" for the Atlantic record attempt.
The predicted weather will take them initially north, so it will be cold & wet.
You can follow the record attempt on the web site denoted at the beginning of this email trail.
God speed and a safe journey to all of Team maserati, if all goes well Tom might be off the coast of Cornwall Tuesday/Wednesday
YaHoo!

Keep us posted Ray and wish them a succesful and safe voyage from the Aldridges!
