GUYOT environnement – Team Europe fought for every mile in their race to catch up to the leg finish in Cape Town in The Ocean Race. But on the last night before the fleet of five Imocas arrived, the crew of skipper Robert Stanjek, navigator Sébastien Simon, pit Anne-Claire Le Berre, bowman Phillip Kasüske and onboard reporter Charles Drapeau had to admit to themselves that it wouldn’t quite be enough to catch up with their four rivals. Nevertheless, they fought on and finally crossed the finish line at 16:56:27 (UTC) on 12 February directly in front of the harbour entrance of Cape Town – only three hours and 46 minutes after winner Holcim. A few days ago, the black yacht had been more than 500 nautical miles behind the competition after failing to break free from a low wind zone and also being slowed down by some sail damage. The leg lasted almost 18 days for all teams, four days longer than originally expected. In the harbour, the team was enthusiastically welcomed and embraced by their loved ones, fans and friends.
