What the hell is that single-hander that went round the lighthouse in 9th place witha texel# of 121?


That is a Dart 18 (no spi) sailed singlehanded.

That guy is having lamp post in his wetsuit as he beat crews like Larsen, Sunnocks and Kenbeek to the lighthouse (after 90 min of sailing) ON ELAPSED TIME and while sailing on a BROAD REACH WITHOUT A SPINNAKER in 8 to 10 knots of wind.

I'm sure all the other boats are spinnaker reaching !

He rounded the mark in 9th place on elasped time, out of 450 boats of which 70% high performance spinnaker boats.

Wow ! Respect !

That is some achievement
