Great wrap report Matt! Provides valuable context the results alone can't do.

I've been watching the live starts of this race for quite awhile. It's an epic race, and they pull some of the world's best boats and racers. Who wouldn't want to go sailing in 15 - 20 and 80 degrees for days? Beats the Fastnet! Usual great coverage, Matt, but what about the multis? There were some of the great racing multis at this one, as per usual.

I wonder if Christian Zügel ever thought about how he is giving every non German speaker a hard time pronouncing his boat when he named her Tschüss. 😅

Only mention of multihulls is there start time! Disappointing
