”…it’s hard but there is no other way…”

The team of Next Generation Sailing, which left the port of Esbjerg tuesday at 4:00 pm on their Class 40 Task Engineering, had to make the difficult decision on the way to the starting line to abandon the record-breaking trip around Denmark for the time being.
With winds of up to 43 knots and steep waves, the start would have been irresponsible for man and material. The weather conditions in the North Sea were much tougher than the weather models had predicted.

Lennart Burke, Melwin Fink and Emilia Vaes are doing well and should stay that way. Accordingly, the team is not taking any risks and is expected back in the port of Esbjerg within the next two hours by the shore crew.
