I see one of the boats still sailing is a Vega, skippered by a Russian. Much respect to all of them.

I think Denis Gorman might also be sailing a Vega this time.

2008 he sailed a Newbridge Voyager (Auld Meg) in the Jester AZAB. :D

Sixth one crosses the finish line.

There is a mention of how hard it was….. this gives concern for those still out there.
