30 Years of Atlantic Challenge and 80 gigs built

The inspiration for Atlantic Challenge was Kurt Hahn, whose goal was peace and

who worked from 1920 to his death in '74 to draw youths into crews, patrols,

watches, small groups to act tougher, in many circumstances--in the mountains,

at sea, with dogsleds in the north, and, for me the very finest circumstance--open

boats. It is in such groups--which are communities and microcosms. For millennia

it has been discovered that one comes to know others vastly, vastly more quickly

and certainly by experiencing, whereas with talk such affinities take far longer and

often lack the empathy and care leading often to support and compassion.

I began my career in April of '66 in such a boat and discovered in just two days

what a remarkable unity and caring series of relations could be formed in such a

set up. I think it important the competition is NOT the point. Bernard Cadoret and

I wanted collaboration, helping each other to gain skills and camaraderie. When

that takes place ashore, and often over beers, the practices lie far from Hahn's

vision which I adopted with Bernard.

That said no program in the marine world has logged more than 30 years drawing sixteen nations together for

a week, built eighty boats and has decades of caring volunteers put in the effort, raise the funds and nurture

generations through experience. As the Digital culture grows, and it is spreading at a steady and to me

concerning rate (Moore’s Law of 1958) the passivity which it results in and the diminution of skill lends immense

importance to what we do. So I try to contain my beliefs but not always.

In admiration.

Lance Lee

In 2014, the gig “Zinneke” was built in Brussels as a social initiative and we

wished to know which was the “sail number” of the gig. In getting to know

exactly how many gigs were actually built, Cyrille Hervé’s list served as a

precious basis and was completed by info we started gathering from all over the

world.

Once we knew we were ‘number 77’, the project to collect pictures from all the

gigs seemed a logical next step, but was a more complex challenge than we had

imagined. Lance Lee’s ever enthusiast support pushed us further in the direction

of completing the international register with historic data.

Thanks to the international solidarity of the Bantry gig Community, what started as an initiative to know how

many gigs were built, has become a common reference and I wish to thank all the people that contributed to it

by sending pictures and historical data of the different gigs.

The job’s not finished and its improvement -thanks to your input- makes it a common heritage and tribute to all

the people that initiated and developed the Bantry gig project as an initiative to help our youth in building a

better world.
