FreeFire triumphs in IRC Overall |
Francis Joyon set off this morning on his attempt at the Mauritius Route record between Port Louis (Brittany) and Port Louis (Mauritius). At 0911hrs UTC on Saturday 19th October, the skipper of IDEC SPORT crossed the start line off the Citadel of Port Louis (Morbihan). Ahead of the boat, a complicated 8,800-mile long solo voyage to the island of Mauritius. Francis is attempting to smash his own reference time of 26 days, 4 hours and 13 minutes set ten years ago. To improve on that time, he will have to finish before 1324hrs UTC on 14th November. The Mauritius Route is the first Act of his campaign of record attempts in Asia, the IDEC SPORT ASIAN TOUR.
If you subscribe to BoatTEST.com’s enewsletters, you saw that the 430 SSC was featured in their Wednesday edition. The 430 SSC was truly the talk of the industry when this video was shot in 2017 – view video here! Its unique combination of a sprawling bowrider cockpit with multiple seating and entertainment zones, plus a spacious, contemporary cabin fully equipped with galley, head and sleeping for four, coupled with the optional quad Mercury 400 Racing outboards ensured the 430’s enviable position in the marine industry (trust us, check out the video). Although BoatTEST.com coaxed the 430 to 64.2 mph, Formula lists a top end of 59-62 mph, depending on conditions—either way, this boat is an impressive performer. The BoatTest.com video still rings true today, but you never know when a new twist might pop up.

MOLLER INTERNATIONAL
Moller International (MI) was delisted as anticipated in my last Newsletter. As President of MI, I apologize for being unable to raise the necessary capital to maintain MI as a public company. Raising capital for the development of a rotary engine proved to be easier than for a flying car (personal air vehicle or PAV). Consequently, the value of MI shares has continued to decline, while the value of Freedom Motors (FM) shares has remained stable. The number of MI shareholders who stated that they wanted to exchange their shares for FM shares was much larger than expected. This is very important for those who do exchange shares because as FM becomes a major shareholder in MI, exchangers will indirectly remain MI stockholders.
