Panbo puts on his sailing disguise to take on the latest updates from Raymarine and the Lighthouse 15 update. Can he play along?

When I say there’s something powerboaters can learn from sailors, let me make one thing abundantly clear: I’m not talking about the day sailor hogging the middle of the channel with a trail of exhaust water spurting from his boat’s stern. I’m talking about the men and women competing in perhaps the sport’s most grueling event, the Volvo Ocean Race.

I was there that horrible day in Mexico when Bill Muncey died in that boat. It is a day that I, and everyone who has ever been involved in the sport, will remember forever.
