The crew beat the previous course record set by Hasso Plattner's Morning Glory in 2005 of 6:16:04:11 by over a day.The new record was the result of a very good team led by Neville Crichton. In addition to Ainslie, Crichton's crew included Stan Honey, Michael Coxon, David Endean, Ryan Godfrey, Stan Honey, Andrew Hutchinson, Phil Jameson, Lance Jenkins, Gavin McPherson, Peter Merrington, Murray Spence, Craig Sattherwaite, Joao Signorini, David Rolfe, Tony Mutter and Alfa's shore crew, Ian Goldsworthy. More than half a dozen members of the record-breaking team flew directly from the completion of the 2008/09 Volvo Ocean Race, having set 24-hour monohull records on Ericsson 4, a Volvo Open 70.Transpac 2009

Royal Oak Offshore Safari Question
Hello everyone, I am currently interested in a safari. I recently tried one on at an AD and it was stunning. The more I think about the watch, I have just one question. Is it possible to order a royal oak style stainless steel bracelet that will fit the safari to go along with the horseback strap that comes on the watch? I know the titanium offshore bracelet looks great on that watch. I have tried researching it and haven't found much. I'm not terribly familiar with the brand so sorry for the ignorance on this topic. Thanks for any help!
