"The race was long and it was fantastic quite an adventure, we went all over the Atlantic and the weather was quite absurd, it was upside down. It was very light in spots, little patches of wind, sometimes I was sailing and I would hit a light patch and everyone around me would keep going.
It was a real test of patience. I am very, very happy. We broke something in the Fastnet and in the TJV I was pretty sick and so this race is really good for me. I had worked hard before I had done a lot testing different things and training beforehand, but I think I have a lot of things dialled in now. The autopilot was playing up for a while, just with a mismatch of settings and I had one situation one night in pretty big breeze when I went right over. There was such a great ending to the race with us all lined up waiting for the front to come through, like surfers all waiting for a big wave. It was a lot of fun. Now I have a period of time off, seeing my family, eating good food, getting some sleep and putting some weight back on."
