“The atmosphere throughout the entire event was unparalleled, and the team bonded not only as sailors but as friends,” said co-skipper Andrew Agius Delicata.

“I cannot express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to sail with each and every person on board, and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing. We look forward to many more opportunities of this kind.”  

The team now turns its attention to the Palermo to Monte Carlo race, scheduled for August 18-23.
