Pennant in process


Working on a pennant to fly at the start of the rally. It's made out of ripstop nylon. I'm a bit concerned that it's a little too lightweight to stand up to heavy winds.

Designing a flag/pennant today:



This will be made out of ripstop nylon. The lettering will be a PITA to cut out, made worse by the fact that it needs to be done for the opposite side also.

First post

We are four sailors chartering a catamaran in the Mediterranean to each make our first ocean crossing; hence the name Virgin TransAtlantic. We have not met each other in person yet, but will soon be embarking on a trip together to stage the boat in Gibraltar. Hopefully we all get along and enjoy the challenge of pulling together to collectively help each other reach our personal goals.
