In 1964 during the second single handed transatlantic race Colonel H. G. Hasler in Jester lost the correct time and, having no radio, could not get a time check. Thus he could not obtain the longitude but, being a fine seaman and practical navigator, made a landfall on Nantucket light-vessel by a method used by old sailing ship skippers. This was to position himself on the correct parallel of latitude and sail due east or west to the destination.
