And This Is Why We Need Rugged PCs

Cheyenne’s record attempt is nearing a successful end, but this quote from one of the crew shows us why it is important to have the right equipment.
“For now the rain pours down, and we are happy to be maintaining 10kts of boatspeed. Any hour, the sky should clear, the north-easter fill, and the boat begin to pound into trade wind swells. The crew has profited from the downpour to shower and wash clothes between sail changes. Unfortunately, the humidity has killed the crew correspondence computer. Efforts are underway to resuscitate it, but I suspect a soggy motherboard.”
