Since Dyneema doesn’t seem to have closed the contest after all, I will continue to publish the stats here until they stop allowing crew. I am probably not going to actively recruit crew myself, but I will continue to support the contest community through this effort.

Thanks Laureen. I just fished this comment out of the Spam filter. I practically never check there, wonder what triggered it?!
Update: We just got word from Dyneema that these numbers won’t be counted. They restated that the contest ended on the 4th and all subsequent crew won’t have any bearing on their decision.
That would be weird! It only states that Participation/Registration will end – aka that implies registering boats. It states nothing on the contest of recruiting crewmembers….. aka the contest. Quite unclear…. even when the website is still OPEN for both participation and follower registration……. That is very confusing …… hmm, where dis I stow my B-flag ?
Hi Tucker,
If I stand at 66 this morning and above 50 yesterday afternoon….. Why I am I not listed then ?
Love to know

Gijs,
Is it possible that you came into the contest after the 4th? or that you came up from below 30 crew? I run my stats in 2 parts: Full Parse (all contestants); leader_parse (only contestants that were above 30 in the last Full Parse). After the contest (and for all of these charts) I used the leader parse method.
I have been running up over the last few days from little to 70 ! Don’t understand what happend….. and why it doesn’t show. Even on 30 with a leader-parse I should have been in there….. I did notice via questions that a number of my followers showed late after submitting and clicking the activation link…. I am on the profile with 70 – should be numerical OK and the FB and Web of our boat is pretty OK too…. Basically… we are a Fun-team and race X-treme – Gijs, the FUN-X
