Profile

La Réponse crew was assembled by Peter Morton and the RORC commodore Andrew McIrvine in Easter 2010, with the objective of competing in the 2010 Rolex Commodore’s Cup as part of the British Team. Although the boat carries a French name, La Réponse translates to “The Answer” and as those Hitchhicker fans will know the answer to everything is 42.
