Maiden UK (03) was the third yacht to arrive within 24 hours, enduring gusty 45 knot head winds in Table Harbour Bay, slowing their final approach to the finish line. The all-female crew who were ranked 2nd on IRC for the past five weeks lost that title just minutes before finally crossing the finish line. They slipped to a provisional 3rd place in IRC rankings after 41 days and 4hrs racing.
It was a highly emotional arrival with fans of Maiden supporting the iconic yacht’s crew, with a special focus on South African crew member, Vuyisile Jaca, sailing back to her native home.
