00:00 Congratulations, how was the race, how are you guys feeling?

00:11 We're a bit tired, we're very tired but extremely happy.

00:16 It was a big fight with Viabilis and Pierre and Arthur who were on board.

00:21 They did really well and we just managed to overtake them in the last hour and a half

00:25 of the race.

00:26 We did probably lead the race for about 60% of the time so it's not as if we stole it

00:31 from them but still it was a big fight.

00:35 We also had a bit of wind at the start, I think there were some nice photos there as

00:39 well.

00:41 We didn't brake much so the shore team did a really good job, the technical team did

00:45 a really good job and we didn't scare ourselves which is good as well because on these boats

00:51 it can be a bit scary sometimes.

00:53 I'm very happy, for me I'm very lucky, it's the second time I've won the Fastnet, I won

00:59 it on Class 40 and last year I missed out by just a little bit, I was overtaken just

01:03 at the finish line two years ago so I was happy to get this win as well.
