00:00The outriggers, the stays, the hold the mask up.
00:30Here they come, all the action on the top.
00:59Let's see if we can find Paul now.
01:14Paul, congratulations, there's my hand.
01:18Paul, what does it mean coming into Portsmouth winning the first leg here?
01:22Yeah.
01:23It was amazing to say with Sana and me, it was a sexy few of us.
01:29Really intense, a lot of manoeuvres in the city.
01:37It was really hard here.
01:38Last 24 hours along the English coast with a lot of clearance and no wind and many changes.
01:44But yeah, it's a happy hand here.
01:49Really, really happy.
01:50That's probably my first time to dock in Portsmouth with a nightmare.
01:57I came a lot of time with you.
01:59Yeah, thanks very much for the welcoming.
02:01Now, Paul, it's great to have you here.
02:04We know that your boat is one of the better optimised for flat water and lighter winds.
02:09This is not the ocean we just had in this thing.
02:13Great.
02:14Where did you make the breaks that you had so far ahead?
02:17We started really quickly.
02:20The Fabrega-Gaia, where we reached the Danish coast, the skyline and the normal wind.
02:30And after the wind, we were a little bit faster.
02:33So, we took a little bit more to deal with this moment.
02:36But after the wind, we got a minute transition between, from east to west.
02:43And after half, we stopped.
02:45We stopped.
02:46We stopped.
02:47But actually, the distance will always be nice with us.
02:54We had a nice comfortable lead.
02:56Were you concerned at all about the cab race between second and third catching up at all on any one of those transitions?
03:02Yeah, yeah.
03:03We just saw one because at the end, we were surprised to have a new group with two laps just in front of the White Island.
03:15And we crossed the boat on the second lap.
03:18And we crossed a really intense match between Malaysia and Fabrega-Gaia.
03:23I don't know.
03:24Malaysia is only one hour ago, but I don't know actually what that happened.
03:29Well, we're watching that with intensity as the second and third boats come in.
03:34Paul, welcome to Gortsmouth. Enjoy the stopover.
03:37Last question.
03:38What have you learned that you're going to take forward to the next leg?
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah.
03:43As you said, it was perfect for us with Fabrega-Gaia.
03:46The next one will be different.
03:48It was pretty much offshore racing, so probably it will be harder to have this kind of lead.
03:58Yes.
03:59We don't give up and try to do this.
04:02We don't know what is the forecast for the next one.
04:06We will check.
04:07And we don't know actually what is the next one.
04:09Because I think it's the same performance.
04:11We have a day to arrive in Porto.
04:14We will be just enjoying the moment and then we will revolve that maybe tomorrow.
04:23Well, Paul, enjoy the moment.
04:25One more time, Portsmouth.
04:26And Paul and his team.
