mardi 4 décembre 2001 –
With remarkable consistency illbruck climbed back the leader board step by step through immaculate boat speed 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 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."
