David arrived at the finish after racing across 3,120 ocean miles in 17 days, and beat the current second leg record by 23 minutes!
Congrats to David for a truly memorable race!!! David took a quick break from celebrating to talk to Nico G, from 650 Classe Mini Unoffical Site
“This is my fourth try on this race. I come out a winner, and in full day light. Its been a tough one, for me and for every one else. Yes, I’ve had my doubts, when I was ahead by a hundred miles and hit a windless spot.I thought everybody was passing me. Some other time I had to step on the brakes real hard when the boat was slamming away, and yet, I was gaining on everybody.
Yes indeed I have the feeling that my boat is like a kick in a bees nest of naval designers. The question is whether or not we’ll see 60 footers based on my design. This I do not know.”
