Our boat came in 42



We agreed to tell everyone that our boat came in 42 out of 1800. Pretty good, huh? OK, that was 42 in the Sunsail 37 division which had 58 boats finish in an overall race of 1800.

The winning boats
/ First Monohull to finish ICAP Leopard did it in 3 hours, 53 minutes and 5 seconds however their time got adjusted and they came out in the rankings below Ran - no idea why.
/ First IRC winner (no idea what that means but they got a trophy) was Ran they did it in 4 hours and 32 minutes and no seconds
/ Extreme 40 class (again no idea what that means) but they were fast and pictures of the boat are cool) winner was Team Origin, they did it in 3 hours, 23 minutes and 50 seconds
/ The first in our division Sunsail 37 did it in 7 hours 49 minutes and 35 seconds
/ The 42 in the Sunsail 37 division (ahem that's us!) did it in 9 hours, 5 minutes and 25 seconds

1875 boats registered. Only 1750 started the race, the rest were all chicken, and only 1557 finished.

We finished AND we weren't disqualified.
