Junneau may have finished by now. Last I heard was that they were actually not that far behind Voador, but their tracker was playing up.

I wasn't far out so. They would have made good close to a seven knot average since rounding the fastnet. Fantastic result, well done lads!!

Re: Blustery Day - Fastnet\'s Lil Hero
Even more impressive given all the breakages and might explain their odd track on the way back from the Rock...
"The Beneteau First 32, Blustery Day, came across the line at 0534 local time. Skipper Martin Biggs, sailing in his third Fastnet, and his first with his own boat said the sailing was fantastic. He was remarkably upbeat considering the list of breakages the boat had incurred, including no wind instruments and a dead engine, and then at the Scillies the gooseneck broke and the boom fell off and had to be jury-rigged and the spinnaker sheets and guys broke so they had to sail the last 100 miles from the Scillies with just a headsail. Biggs laughingly remarked that “we managed to sail for five days together without killing each other!” and, clearly, both he and his crew are ready to do it again"

Hello.
You won't know me from Adam. I'm just one of those well-over 1500 sailing people ( YBW,com and RORC Tracker ) who have been cheering you on, on, in your Fastnet Race.
I won't rehearse all the pluses and minuses arguments about this year; that's for you and those you sailed with.
Simply.......
You are an inspiration! Very well done!
