🌊 EMIRA IV was built in 2021 and won the 2023 Ocean Race

⚖️ The boat weighs 9.8 tonnes and is 18m long, with a mast height of 27m

🏀 There's enough sail area to cover an NBA basketball court

⛵️ EMIRA IV is named after Scott Shawyer's daughters, Emma and Keira

Update on the Route du Rhum 🌊

After months of preparation, Scott Shawyer won't be on the start line of this year's Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe

Getting EMIRA IV to Canada for a summer of training gave Scott valuable time to learn the boat and build the experience he needed to race offshore solo. But an unexpected issue with the boat's energy systems on the return delivery to Europe, followed by a very short window to qualify, made the final preparations more challenging. And on his recent attempt to qualify, Scott was quickly struck by seasickness. He had to weigh up the risks, and make the difficult decision to turn back.

You can read the full story on our website.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on the journey so far - stay tuned for what's next ⛵️

Last month, Scott was sailing the Great Lakes in Canada. Now he's facing the wind and swell of the English Channel, taking EMIRA IV out solo in some pretty epic (and bumpy) conditions. Imagine sleeping in this tonight...
