Graham Dalton's new Open 50 has arrived in Auckland and is being rigged in the
Viaduct Basin. She has already undergone the mandatory self-righting test.
Named 'A Southern Man - AGD', she is the first Open 50 class yacht built in
New Zealand and features a canting keel and nine-metre retractable centreboard
amongst other high-tech gear to aid solo ocean racing. The letters AGD have
been added to the boat's name in memory of Graham's 23-year-old son, Tony, who
died in December last year.

5 aout, Simrad 60: DNS
New Zealand solo sailor Graham Dalton has completed his trans-Atlantic qualifying
voyage for the Velux 5 Oceans Race, a solo race, with two stops, around the
world.
20 octobre, Graham Dalton announced today that he will not make the 1300 start
of the VELUX 5 OCEANS this Sunday, 22nd October, due to severe damage to his
mast. With just two days to go until the start of the toughest solo round-the-world
yacht race, Dalton, who has been plagued with problems throughout his campaign
insists he will still start the race, as soon as is practically possible which
under race regulations, must be within seven days.

refit completed in April 2013 with no expense spared and no stone unturned under
the watchful eye of the designer Greg Elliott. Keel and hydraulics fully serviced
and new optimised keel bulb. Full repaint to hull and deck. Complete rig service
and replacement of standing and running rigging. New sails. Un-ashamedly ready
to race or fast cruise and looking like a new boat but with the all the bugs
ironed out, this Greg Elliott thoroughbred is absolutely ready for the next
exciting new adventure.
