Titania - Titania Update: The Final Results are now in!



Sixteen days after the start, and two days after Titania finished in St Lucia, we can now confirm the final results are now in and have been declared.

We are of course talking about the Titania sweepstake and not the ARC Race Committee results for the overall winner - the latter is still dependent on boats that are still at sea.

Two days in to the crossing, we all had a guess at the final arrival time in St Lucia. The range of results ran between 18.30 hours on Sunday 9th and 1600 hours on Wednesday 12th December. I am pleased to announce that the winner is Freddie Bryn-jones. At the time, all the crew was deeply sceptical of Freddie's forecasting ability. Someone was heard to say that Freddie did not even know how many days there were in November (this might, incidentally be true). Freddie's secret was to read the ETA from the nav computer.


As a consequence, Freddie will be collecting his winnings. This will take place shortly at the nearest bar, where the winner will tightly surrounded by his shipmates who will ensure he does not slip away before all the funds are exhausted.


Well done Freddie for your optimism in choosing our fast crossing time, despite lack of knowledge of the Gregorian calendar!


Robin
