00:14 Welcome you all to NCYC
00:16 but also to Newcastle.
00:18 We're really honoured to have you guys come
00:20 and visit Newcastle. Thank you very much.
00:22 We hope you have a wonderful stay.
00:24 Alright everyone.
00:26 Well done guys.
00:28 Congratulations again
00:30 on not only back to back podiums but back to back wins.
00:32 You've got to be pretty proud of yourselves on that one.
00:34 Yeah, I'm feeling really good.
00:36 Yeah, it was a hard race.
00:38 It was long days
00:40 and you could see the tiredness and you could see deathly catching.
00:42 We just had to make sure we
00:44 just took the right course and
00:46 at the right time and pushed at the right time.
00:48 So yeah, but chuffed to be the first boat
00:50 in for 2024.
00:52 Yeah, to win one was really special
00:54 like especially considering the start we had
00:56 but to go back to back
00:58 it's something else entirely.
01:00 It was really good. I loved the downwind sections
01:02 and I think we survived the upwind sections
01:04 and I wish everyone else
01:06 the best of luck on that upwind section.
01:08 It's not my favourite but the downwind was really enjoyable.
01:10 It was a lot of fun.
01:12 It really just comes down to mistake free sailing.
01:14 It comes down to taking our time
01:16 with our evolutions and not making mistakes
01:18 and Josh's tactics are point on.
01:20 It's just our strategy
01:22 evaluating the currents and the winds
01:24 and driving when we need to drive
01:26 and then our helming was phenomenal on those two.
01:28 Helming!
01:30 Helming!
01:32 Helming!
01:34 Helming!
