Sequin is one of those yachts that appear from somewhere and no-one here knows anything about. Her owner has been navigating on Saltpeta for some years so obviously knows the track. He must also be a masochist, as this boat must be one of the smallest boats ever entered in this Race. Half tonners have been known to win this race, as statistics will show, but the chances are getting slimmer and slimmer as the bigger boats get faster and faster.
