I'm very sorry for the trouble occurred to mr Tortolani and the sad lot of the boat Città di Salerno. He is safe now; she is lost. We must thank the CG and the ship Missouri. ALL SKIPPERS are obliged now to reflect upon the importance of what they did.

Why we race across the atlantic? A psychological analysis

A motivational issue
Solo offshore races are classified as extreme sports by sports psychologists. This may seem a rather harsh judgement, especially after breathing the friendly and reassuring atmosphere of solo sailor gatherings who have crossed an ocean before, it may just seem a rushed and overly concerned judgement by those unfamiliar with offshore sailing.
However, it would be a mistake to treat the matter superficially. What qualifies a sport as extreme? The decisive element is not the sport itself, but its risk content.
