The Ocean Race 2023 – Leg 3 – Day 16 – Kopf an Kopf vor dem Scoring Gate

 

Despite over 5,000nm sailed since the start of Leg 3 in Cape Town it is coming down to the wire as to who will gain an advantage at the scoring gate. Team Holcim-PRB came through first (again) but the battle rages on behind them.

Will Harris:
“I am so happy, so relieved that we managed to come away with second place,“ said co-skipper Will Harris. „It has been such a fight to even still be in the race after having to fix the mast a week and a half ago and not being sure we could continue, and now we are here crossing the line in second. This has been some of the closest offshore racing I have ever done, we crossed 11th Hour Racing within only 200 metres. It is a big relief that we have crossed the line second, we have proved our potential, I can sleep well tonight and then look forward to the Pacific. I am really so happy!”
