Your description matches the one I am thinking of, 6 guys on it, hand tiller, open stern cockpit. Beautiful timber.
Glad they made it then, if it is them.

Saw them on the telle tonight, what an effort, beating their own record by day and a half.
As much as I admire the effort, I think I'll hope for a ride on something more dry and bigger for that bucket listof mine....  ;D
