00:09 Yeah, that was a very intense race from the first second.

00:15 Going upwind in 30+ knots in the solent foiling was crazy, incredible.

00:21 A lot of overtaking, getting out of the channel and then these big seaways, big winds.

00:28 [Music]

00:30 From the fast net to the silly again, we reached almost 30 or 40 knots several times, crazy speed.

00:51 Yeah, that was great, the boat was just flying.

00:55 [Music]

00:57 Crazy battle in the end with Johan and Jan.

01:20 We caught them, they took off again, we caught again, managed to overtake.

01:25 And just at the end we had like a 2 miles lead and we got some seaweed in the keel.

01:30 So we lost like 1.4 miles due to this seaweed.

01:35 So we were really relieved when we got rid of that and managed to extend again to the finish.

01:42 I'm really happy with the work of the team.

01:47 It's quite hard to describe, to explain how talented and skilled they are.

01:53 And they just know how to do it.

01:57 Just incredible, I'm really happy.
