Commentary

It took our podium just four and one quarter days to balloon 2500nm from The Kerguelens to Western Australia's Carnarvon. There's not a yacht in our boathouse that could have stayed with them! And, one imagines, but one doesn't know, with approximately zero apparent wind around their gondolas, it was fine wine and fayre all the way. Champagne sailing, hah! Burgundian ballooning, I say.

But if you wandered off course at all, before you knew it, you were destined to take twice as long at least, with your only option being to ditch the balloon and ride it out in your gondola, stuck in the sea, hoping not to drown!

So, huge congratulations to our podium in this one, featuring some names we don't see every day at the top end of our leaderboards. Routers can't deal with balloons, and it showed!

And it’s a border that matters, there’s gas here! But why worry, let’s race – 2050nm in our goo’ol’ Open 60s in between the production platforms, prowling destroyers and submarines.
