Has this been mentioned? If not, big congratulations to Bob and his crew.

Bob Beggs, who sailed to victory in 2000, led his team in 14 races over more than 46,000 miles (74,000 km) in an 11-month trek across six oceans. The 64-year-old and his Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam team took victory by only one point in Portsmouth from team Perseverance in the closest finish yet in the race's 28-year history.
