Yet again, YouTube comes to the rescue with a bit of background on the sailor from Mumbai that is sailing around the world. The video gives a good feel for the yacht, which looks like a good one to make such a voyage. This is certainly a more powerful boat than the older design that Jessica Watson is aboard.
Dilip has been thrashing into unusual easterlies for the last few days, making for a very uncomfortable ride. It seems that the weather forecast will have a shift to more normal westerly winds soon.

Hello,
Thanks for this video. I am following the adventure of Dilip Donde but its the first time that I have seen him and his yacht.
Best wishes from Spain.

to say that his boat is more advanced than jessica watson's only diminishes dilip's image. young jessica's journey is non-stop while dilip keeps halting at several places. while i have a great respect for dilip, i do believe that jessica is a different class altogether. please don't compare the two.
