"It feels fantastic - we feel a little sad to spoil Ericsson 3's homecoming, but it's a great win, and a hard-earned win.
Man do we know how to make it hard. I don't think it has to be this hard, but somehow that's the only way we seem to have success.
When we let them get ahead of us at the lighthouse, I think most teams would have quit right there, but adversity seems to be our friend and we got a little break when they got their jib hung up on the radar dome but at the same time, that's what we were looking for, to force an error. It's a great relief to get our first leg win out of the way."
