Hieronder nog even de reactie van Steve Fosset aan de crew van MAIDEN II:
“Dear Helena, Adrienne and crew of the new world’s fastest sailboat.”
“Congratulations! You have won a real prize. We knew the competition would heat up for this 24 Hour Record. There are five boats that can contend for it, and we didn’t think our record would last for more than about a year.”
“But this is one time I wish we hadn’t been right; it would have been nice to keep it a little longer!”
“I wasn’t really interested in improving our own record before – but now we’ll have to reconsider whether we target this 24 Hour Record – for a third time.”
“This record really defines the fastest sailboat – and the fastest sailors – in the world, and you should be extremely proud. Enjoy your success. -“
