What a finale! Exciting till the end. We knew that Frida had to gybe once more or crash on Lizard, Land’s End. So we had to be patient….and we did. They gubed, we took a 6 nm lead. And finished only 23 minutes before Frida. New record for 40 foot and under, water ballasted in 5d9h31m13s! 💪💪💪⛵️🏆 We broke the record set by Ronny Nollet in 2003 on ……… La Promesse. Happy! Satisfied! Proud! Tired!
Now at the Solent. We’ll leave the boat in Portsmouth for the Fastnet. Start 21 st of July.
With love from the Solent,
Wouter (Captain) & JanKees (drunk 🙄)
