Hey FE'ers,
Here's more proof for you guys or anyone interested in this whole FE vs RE debate on whether the earth is a Globe or Flat Disc.
According to the FE map, the distance from South Africa to Australia is much further away (almost twice the distance) than what is experienced by people travelling this route.
There are direct flights between these countries via Qantas Airlines but the FE'ers dispute the distance between these 2 countries.
So below is more proof or evidence of people sailing this route (Clipper Round the World Race). It's the only yacht race of its kind in the world and a great test of human endurance.
Feel free to check out the links below:
1. Info on the race which is broken up into various legs -

http://sailing.co.za/clipper-race-young-limpopo-man-celebrates-sailing-from-south-africa-to-australia/The 3rd leg of the race, Cape Town to Freemantle Port (West Australia), is 4845 nautical miles (nm) which converts to roughly 8972Km. This verifies the recorded flight distance between JHB and PERTH (also on west coast of AUS) at 8325Km.
So any explanation from FE'ers regarding the above and why the huge variation on distances according to the FE map is welcome.
