Nándor Fa Finally Sets Sail To New York

The Spirit of Hungary has left the port of Trieste on Wednesday and began her journey to New York, reports Szekesfehervar.hu. 

Fa has sailed around the world for three times previously. His destination is New York, where the New York-Barcelona duo race will begin. His partner for that will be Marcell Goszleth, who is on the ship with him already. Beside the two of the, there is a four-person technical crew there.

Before they finally set sails, Fa and the crew completed some calibrations and measuring. The journey was started around noon. The following days will be spent with testing the ship. Their only stop before New York will be Gibraltar.

According to the project’s website, everything went fine.

After the New York-Barcelona race, Fa is planning to complete the Barcelona Word Race in December. The obvious peak of these races, however, is the Vendeé Globe. The Hungarian sailor will sail there in the 2016-2017 season.
