00:00 I've got to say this is the oldest boat of the fleet, 2009, and I'm very happy and proud to bring a victory.
00:07 We knew the start was supposed to be difficult, but luckily we started before the other boat,
00:17 so it was not easy for us, but easier.
00:21 Tough conditions, up to 35, maybe 40 knots, but the boat was doing well, the crew as well.
00:28 It was the first time I had these conditions on a multi-hull, at the helm of a multi-hull,
00:32 and swell, I think it was about 3 metres.
00:35 We were really jumping up and down and it was bouncing around a lot.
00:38 As I told Pierre, I rounded the fast net twice and never seen it,
00:51 and this time it was really great because it was just before the sunset.
00:55 Yeah, that was really perfect.
00:58 The last boat of the day
01:03 We nearly lost the race a couple of times today.
01:06 First near Oldenay or Rai Blanchard.
01:10 We managed to overtake them again afterwards, about an hour and a half before the finish.
01:14 We were really close to the other boat, less than two minutes at the end.
01:19 After more than 48 hours sailing, it's like nothing, but unfortunately we are second.
01:25 We realised that the last gybe, we realised that they were closer to the shore and had less current,
01:30 so we had to do a double gybe to get just in front of us,
01:34 and when we saw that we were crossing 0.2 miles, we thought we were going to lose it again.
01:38 But I don't know how many times in this race.
01:40 It could have gone either way, and they're very good sailors as well, and we got the last tack.
01:51 We were missing the big guys, the big names. A couple of them didn't make the start.
01:55 Some new boats aren't ready yet. Not everyone was there, so...
01:59 I'm still taking the win.
