They gave more than 4 hours to the 40ft boat that won the race in compensated, a J122. On the beginning of the video we can see them, in light wind, going away from a race boat, a 40class one. What a boat!!!
An then we have a great video from Tulip, and aluminium classic 88fter, a German Frers design, a gorgeous boat that is only classic from the water line up. The hull is very modern with a big draft (lifting keel) and a torpedo keel.
They are showing on that video that the boat can sail fast and comfortably even in a storm. They took more 5 hours than the rocket Neo 400 but even so they managed to sail faster than one of the racing VOR 60 and did not lose much for the others!!! Racing with class :-)
And finally a video taken on a Swan 45 (sistership photo):
They finished the race in 17th place (IRC) but took almost 7 hours more than the Neo 400 and two hours more than the Tulip.
