Way to go you british boats !!! showing the rest of the world how to sail, may i add a big dissapointment for the jamaica crew who althought they got to the point in second they ahd dropped out of the race :( these guys look as though they can be very strong indeed, Unless they used there outboard’s of course

Keep it up guys this is great watching you all just hope one day i to can have a crack at this

4. Annette Pursey, Buckingham 20 September 2007

Well done to race winners Hull & Humber and Jamaica, who I think must have worked really hard to catch H&H;after having one crew member transferred off - amazing!

Well done Qingdao and Skipper, sounds like it was close with Singapore. Christopher has done a report on the race and our trip round the boat in Hull for school, it was so good he’s showing it to the headmaster tomorrow. We are off to Hull again this weekend, we promise we were rooting for you and not Hull and Humber. Marcus, thanks for the tour in the summer and good luck on the next leg.
