Well done to Mike - he finished at 0317hrs today. Without a keel that shows excellent seamanship.

Well done Mike. It does raise a very good question - Are canting keels still the way forward? There have been a number of major keel failure in the last couple of months e.g. A couple of Vendee boats, Skandia in the Sydney Hobart e.t.c.
