He said:
“I’m glad I finished! It was a longer transatlantic crossing than I had expected. We have now done four transatlantic crossings in the space of six months and so it is a bit of a strain on the system now.. This one was more complicated, I had less success, the conditions were less favorable for the boat. It was more difficult in terms of speed. I learned a lot of things and overall it’s a great lesson. And it is still a good result in a fleet which has such strength in depth. These are particularly difficult races to win, we have to accept that it is more difficult to win sometimes and that will help us to keep making progress.”
