Originally sixth across the start line in La Rochelle on 23 September and ninth heading out into the Bay of Biscay at the start of Race 2, Durban 2010 and Beyond has demonstrated that ocean racing is about long term planning and tactics and not short term gains.
Joff Bailey, Race Director: “Ocean racing is a marathon and not a sprint and Durban 2010 and Beyond has proved this. They have made some good tactical decisions and kept focused to achieve a well earned victory.”
Having crossed the fnish line between the Punta de Santa Antonio headland and the north cardinal buoy marking the Banco de Santo Antonio off the coast of Bahia, Durban 2010 and Beyond is now making its way to the Terminal Maritimo da Bahia where the fleet will be berthed for the duration of their stay in Salvador.
