RORC Madeira-Cowes Race Report 12: Puma finish in dramatic style!!
02.14.50 hrs - Puma Logic finish the Madeira-Cowes Race....welcome home Puma!!
Pen Azen finished at 23.52, just 2 hours 22 minutes ahead of Puma after over 1500 miles of racing, amazingly close. We do not know yet where each yacht stands in the overall placing of the race but as soon as we do we will update you.
A fantastic night rib ride for the families of the crew met Puma as she skirted around the coast of the Isle of Wight and escorted her across the finish line and into Cowes fo a champagne reception. The yachts engine was restarted after their power failure 3 days ago, and the yacht is now heading back to her home port of Shamrock Quay for a little sleep and then a full English breakfast that they have been dreaming of since leaving the Solent in early August.
More to follow....
