Capey from the dock

I haven't sailed into Cape Town for 11 years, it's a great place to arrive. It was a good leg all-in all. Happiness all round.

There were bad conditions and most people got through it well. It's a good sign.

We still had a lot of light air in the Med, then the running and then a lot of reaching and then the hard stuff getting here, so it was mixed bag. Because we haven't two boat tested against a new boat, we were learning all the time. We've learnt a lot and I'm very happy with what we have learnt and where we ended up here.

Ericsson 4 did a good job to sail through us when it was windy, but we were finding our own way there, and we were happy with what we were doing. I guess we were second best, but all-in-all, happy.

It was a great race, with a great team. We are still learning, and for us this first leg was a learning experience.

We had a good leg but Ericsson was lucky to ride that front all the way here. They made it look easy.

It was tight out there, but that is what racing is about. No boats were mega fast or slow, it was a great race.
