Episode 5 of Racer Focus. This week the Sail Geeks are talking about Sailing Tech in Reality!

Jack has just finished the Normandy Channel Race and had total black out, batteries dead, no Nav, no lights, no engine, no electronics and no auto-pilot while double handed! Jack tells us about how he overcame it - definitely everything all sailors should have in the bank just in case!

The geeks also talk about losing VHF when they lost a rig on Sunrise the summer.
