    Riktigt bra reportage, känns som att Gustav och gänget är på uppåtgående. Det känns mer nära än de vanliga helikopterreportagen.Vore najs med ett inslag från starten på nyårsafton.

    Alex Thomson’s participation in the Barcelona World Race was looking unlikely on Wednesday night after he had his appendix removed in an emergency operation less than two days before the start of the gruelling three-month race.

    The British skipper, 37, who was due to set off on the two-handed round-the-world race from Barcelona on New Year’s Eve in his Open 60 Hugo Boss, was diagnosed with acute appendicitis on Wednesday morning and taken to hospital for surgery.

    It is now “highly improbable” that he will compete, according to Stewart Horsfall, the chief executive of Alex Thomson Racing, who will release further details of their plans on Thursday.

    Jag har alltid trott att det är obligatoriskt att ta ut blindtarmen innan man ger sig ut på de stora haven?

    Substitute skipper will start in Alex’s place. It has been announced that substitute skipper Wouter Verbraak will sail HUGO BOSS alongside Andy Meiklejohn for the first several days of the race until Alex Thomson has recovered enough to join the boat.
