Australian Victory For illbruck
Finish time: 00:22:26 GMT
Tuesday 4 December 2001 –
With remarkable consistency illbruck climbed back the leader board step by step through immaculate boat speed Speed #speedsailing and perfect routing until they led the fleet around Eclipse Island. Across the Great Australian Bight, only SEB could match illbruck‚s performance and mount a serious threat to her claim for the lead. After SEB broached at high speed Speed #speedsailing when entering Bass Strait illbruck led the way to Sydney unchallenged.
After his arrival at the dock, John Kostecki, the skipper of the winning German yacht said: "I had tears in my eyes, when I crossed the finish line. I will never forget the coldness of the Southern Ocean. Really happy to see Ann Marie again."
