Bar Talk - Bellino and Mzungu!

In the 2022 Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race the battle to be the first Two-Handed team to finish was extraordinary, with two teams in sight of each other for 15 days of match racing.

Rob Craigie and Deb Fish racing Sun Fast 3600 Bellino was the first double-handed team to cross the line. After 1,805 miles of racing, JPK 1080 Mzungu! raced by Sam White & Sam North was just 10 minutes behind. The two teams have huge respect for each other and shared a beer or two, as well as their thoughts in the RORC Clubhouse in Cowes.

There are still four boats racing after Esprit Scout arrived in the early hours of Tuesday morning (23 August), so follow the progress of the final boats in the race here: yb.tl/rbni2022
