Breaking News–Orange II On Standby: Bruno Peyron and his monster catamaran are in Marseilles, on standby to take a run at the Marseilles-Carthage record (also known as the “TransMed” to make it sound more important). It’s a 458-mile sprint and they’ll go as soon as the right weather rolls in. Current record-holder is Steve Fossett’s PlayStation, at 18 hours 46 minutes (average speed of 24.38). That should be a piece of cake for Orange II in the right conditions. I have a feeling that Bruno Peyron is about to start rolling up PlayStation’s long list of world bests (despite missing the transatlantic record by just over half an hour). The big one of course is the non-stop round-the-world mark, which Peyron will go after this winter. Stay tuned…
