I heard a rumour that they are down at Sandy Point again, setting up for the record... is this true? Does anyone know?

yep - they arrived last early last week, with the expectation of starting their campaign this week. A few of us too some pics of the container being unloaded onto the beach.

No. New craft was build incorperating the lessons learned from Yellow Pages.
Basically YP had a quite high aspect rig which limited it to 18kn. The MI has a lower aspect rig so it can sail in higher wind..up to 25 I think but has not been lucky with the wind and reliabilty.
