Wright and Brennan cross the line in 5th
Taking 5th placed in La Solidaire du Chocolat, British yachtsman, Tim Wright, and his Australian co-skipper, Nicko Brennan, crossed the finish line off Progreso at 1447 GMT today, Monday 16 November, on Wright's two year-old Akilaria Class40, Sail4Cancer. “It is a real relief to finish and it is great to finally stop racing. The race was very difficult and very long,” said Tim Wright shortly after crossing the finish line. “Sailing through the gate at St. Barts was a very memorable moment: it was a great relief, but at the same time, we still had 1,500 miles to sail,” he continued. “The last week wasn’t easy with very unstable wind in both force in direction,” recalls Wright. “Very hard on the nerves! We are happy to have completed this beautiful race, but we were severely tested right up to the finish line,” admits the British skipper. “For my part, I am not sure I could embark on such a huge challenge again,” says Wright. “We were really punished by the weather conditions and sailed the entire race on our own, without seeing another boat.”
