Makara of Exe - Mutiny on the Makara



The arrival of the ARC fleet in St Lucia is a momentous occasion and now we are just 40 hours away, we are looking forward to meeting up with the crews that we encountered as we crossed the vast 40,000,000 square miles of Atlantic Ocean.

The home truth about the ARC Rally is that the number one risk we face is not falling overboard, not mechanical or electrical failure, not even the dreaded squalls. It is falling out with our crew mates. Close confinement, 24 hour watch system, and ever present risks test our relationships to destruction.

After the shambles of the joint captaincy of Makara, including the rhumb line - gate, sail rip - gate, and every other 'gate' incident, Georgia and Jerry, two plucky crew mates have assumed captaincy!

They have coped with 32 knot squalls and are joint record holders of the fastest yacht speed of 10.2 knots.

Mood on board is buoyant since keel-hauling, Ian, Mike and Dom who are now far more convivial.

Georgia and Jerry (Captains)
