		KAY COTTEE: It is a different craft, but she's a definite character and she typifies the Aussie spirit.
		KAY COTTEE: Mainly, I wanted to do it first for the country -- for Australia to get the first -- because I'd heard that there were several women, or two in particular, one American and one from Europe, that were planning to do the trip.
		KAY COTTEE: I left Sydney and said, "I'll see you in six or seven months "and I'll be back." And I think, like the swimmers, Thorpe and Hackett and those guys, they go in to win and you don't even consider the possibility that you're going to fail.

	Cruising World, Rains, Global Storming
		Cottee’s storm system balanced her boat so well that, at one point in mid-ocean, she was astonished to find her wind-vane steering had been unlocked for three days; the sails had been steering through 15-foot seas.
		Cottee notes that, with trysail set, much of the paint on the trailing edge of her mast was removed by the long halyard wire from the masthead as it vibrated in heavy air.
		Cottee, Simon, Lyman, Roth (the consensus preferred system): Although voyagers have used many heavy-weather sail combinations, the overwhelming consensus is that a trysail balanced by a storm jib lifted on a pennant is the most effective, keeping the boat well balanced and from being overpowered whenever the wind approaches or exceeds gale conditions.
