Vendée Globe

A few interesting facts and figures about what has been taken aboard Roxy by Sam Davies:

Sails: The heaviest element. Taking into account the sails that are ready and those that are stowed.
117 kg of food: Samantha Davies is taking only freeze-dried food. But she loves her cup of tea with a touch of milk and is also taking a lot of chocolate with her, as this is something she enjoys. There are also 7kg of dry biscuits and 8.5kg of bread.
50 kg of clothes
30 kg of spare rope
25 kg: The weight of the hydro generator, which she will use to recharge her batteries
20 kg of tools for any repairs
20 kg of spare equipment: automatic pilot, electrical, hydraulic and electronic equipment
18 litres of drinking water: The Roxy Sailing Team has opted for two desalination units, one fixed and one portable. This option means Sam will only take 18 litres of water (2 packs) instead of the normal 72 litres. She will require 9 litres of drinking water for emergency purposes
14 kg: this is the weight of the cleaning and washing equipment required for the boat and Sam
14 kg is the weight of the engine parts (Belts...)
12 kg of deck fittings and 12kg of other products (adhesive tape, grease…)
10 kg of composites to allow repairs to be carried out
9 kg of spare computer equipment
8 kg of small items required to repair the sails (material and thread…)
