2. GOR LEG 3 BRIEF OVERVIEW
The first night at sea for the five GOR Class40s was an upwind hammering as the fleet
exited Cook Strait and dropped south-east towards the Chatham Islands. Encountering
strong SE headwinds at 47S, fleet
leader Buckley Systems turned back
to New Zealand on the fourth day of
racing with a serious injury to Ross
Field’s back and Campagne de France
simultaneously turned west and
headed for port. With Cessna Citation
the new leader and Financial Crisis in
close pursuit, Phesheya-Racing
encountered strong winds to the
north and hove-to twice to ride out
the storm and make vital autopilot
repairs. As Cessna Citation and Financial Crisis crossed the mid-Pacific, bluQube Scoring
Gate, the separation for Phesheya-Racing grew to 1,000 miles as the leaders entered the
Furious Fifties and dropped through an area of known ice with Cessna Citation spotting
two bergs at 55S/106W. Having built a lead of over 260 miles, Cessna Citation ran into a
high pressure ridge at 60S, stopping dead as Financial Crisis gained and took the lead
briefly after 18 days of racing. Regaining the lead, Cessna Citation continued towards
Cape Horn, racing shoulder-to-shoulder with Financial Crisis and handing over the lead
again 670 miles west of Cape Horn. With a deep low pressure system rolling north-east
from Antarctica and threatening massive seas in Drake Passage, Cessna Citation took off
for Cape Horn at full pace, beating the weather system while Financial Crisis hove-to 380
miles SW of the Horn and rode out the storm. Rounding Cape Horn on Day 24, Cessna
Citation sailed round Isla de los Estados, avoiding the risk of strong winds in Le Maire
Strait, leaving the Falklands to starboard and hooking into strong reaching conditions off
the coast of Patagonia, building a 500 mile lead over Financial Crisis when crossing the
finish line after 31 days and 18 hours.

LOG
Leg 3 Week 1 (29 January – 4 February):
Strong start with headwinds forces two boats to turn west for port
At 15:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Sunday 29
February, the double-handed Global Ocean Race
(GOR) fleet started Leg 3 from Wellington, New
Zealand, to Punta del Este, Uruguay, with a 6,300mile course through the Pacific Ocean, around Cape
Horn and through the South Atlantic ahead of the five
Class40s. In around ten knots of breeze, Conrad
Colman and Adrian Kuttel were first across the line
with Cessna Citation, followed by the South African
duo of Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire with
Phesheya-Racing. Colman and Kuttel led the fleet east across the mouth of Evans Bay as
the breeze built fractionally around Point Halswell, hoisting spinnakers and leaving Ward
Island and Hope Shoal to port. For a brief period the breeze died completely before
switching through 180 degrees, forcing a beat and short tacking through the gap
between the eastern shoreline of Wellington Harbour and the jagged, exposed rocks of
Barrett Reef before rounding Pencarrow head and exiting the 2km-wide harbour
entrance. Cessna Citation led the fleet out into Cook Strait with Ross and Campbell Field
on Buckley Systems in hot pursuit and as the Class40s dropped south into the Pacific,
the wind built quickly to 20 knots with a long rolling swell for the first night at sea,
forcing the teams to reef as the sun began to dip.
With Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon taking a
southerly flier with Financial Crisis parallel to the
coast of South Island, the main pack dropped south
east with speeds rising dramatically throughout Day
2 as the Class40s raced south below Chatham Island
with the boats reaching into the high latitudes on
port in 25-30 knots of northerly wind. Having taken
the lead early on Tuesday morning, Ross and
Campbell Field hit the highest speed averages on
their Tyker 40, Buckley Systems, polling 14 knots,
while the chasing Class40s, Campagne de France
with Halvard Mabire and Miranda Merron and Cessna
Citation with Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel consistently delivering 13+ knots. On Day
4 of Leg 3, encountering strong SE headwinds at 47S, fleet leaders Ross and Campbell
Field on Buckley Systems turned back to New Zealand with a serious injury to Ross
Field’s back and Halvard Mabire and Miranda Merron on Campagne de France
simultaneously turned west and headed for port. The forecast conditions of further
strong conditions failed to materialise with the new fleet leaders, Conrad Colman and his
South African co-skipper, Adrian Kuttel, running into light airs with Cessna Citation and
reporting clear skies and sunshine at 47S, allowing the duo to dry clothes and gear in
the cockpit of their Class40. With the news of two boats heading for port, the three
remaining Class40s kept in frequent communication as the weather eased.
Leg 3 Week 2 (5 February – 11 February):
Gales forecast at the bluQube Scoring Gate
The second week at sea for the three remaining
Class40s still racing east began with continued
strong headwinds for the trio in the Roaring Forties.
Sunday 5th February marked the fifth consecutive
day of headwinds and furthest north, Nick Leggatt
and Phillippa Hutton-Squire in third with PhesheyaRacing hove-to in short steep seas as the leaders,
Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel on Cessna Citation
dropped south to 48S chased hard by Marco Nannini
and Hugo Ramon with Financial Crisis. On Tuesday,
Phesheya-Racing hove-to a second time to fix
problems with their primary and secondary autopilots and while conditions moderated
slightly for the two boats further south, more strong headwinds were forecast as the
fleet approached the mid-Pacific, bluQube Scoring Gate. Having monitored the weather
forecasts closely, the GOR Race Committee made the decision to extend the southern
limit of the scoring gate by 180 miles early on Thursday morning, shifting the waypoint
from 47S to 50S having evaluated that the boats were passed an area of ice south-west
of the gate and the threat of beating into a gale in the most remote section of Leg 3
represented an unacceptable risk to the teams.
With the freedom of movement increased and the first taste of off-wind sailing for ten
days, Cessna Citation pushed hard, recording averages of over 14 knots and rocketed
through the bluQube Scoring Gate taking the maximum six points on Friday, followed
through the virtual door by Nannini and Ramon on Saturday with Financial Crisis,
handicapped by the destruction of their A2 spinnaker in a pilot error-enforced
knockdown. As Nannini and Ramon reached the gate, an area of high pressure put the
brakes on hard with Cessna Citation pulling away through the Furious Fifties. As the
leading duo dropped south-east towards Cape Horn, the South Africans on PhesheyaRacing finally escaped the clutches of headwinds and steep seas and picked up the pace
towards the scoring gate.
Leg 3 Week 3 (12 February – 18 February):
Dead calm in the Furious Fifties and iceberg sightings
Week 3 began with a taste of downwind sailing for the trio of Class40s in the Pacific. For
the fleet leaders, Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel on the Akilaria RC2 Cessna Citation,
swift progress was brief as the Kiwi-South African duo ran straight into a high pressure
ridge with speeds dropping to sub-three knots. While the calm conditions allowed Adrian
Kuttel to carry out some excruciating home-surgery on his badly infected finger nails,
Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon holding second place were piling in from the north-west
with Financial Crisis and by Wednesday, both Class40s were elbow-to-elbow at 56S, as
the South African duo of Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire crossed the bluQube
Scoring Gate in third on Phesheya-Racing.
As the South Africans dropped south, hammered by a
vicious cold front, Colman and Kuttel on Cessna
Citation reported sighting two icebergs at 55S and
vigilance was increased throughout the three boats as
the leaders descended deeper into the Southern
Ocean. By Friday, with just over 1,000 miles to Cape
Horn, Cessna Citation and Financial Crisis were at 59S
in light, frigid headwinds as Leggatt and Hutton-Squire
continued to reel in the leaders. Early on Saturday
GMT, Nannini and Ramon’s southerly option –
dropping down to 60S – paid-off and Financial Crisis took the lead. Over Saturday night
and Sunday morning the wind moved south and a fast reach to the Felipe Cubillos Cape
Horn Gate for the two leaders was underway. For the front runners, speeds rose over
Saturday night, peaking at an average of 11.5 knots for Financial Crisis at 09:00 GMT on
Sunday as Nannini and Ramon climbed away from 60S with their course converging with
Colman and Kuttel on Cessna Citation, taking the lead again after 20 days of racing
through the Pacific.
Leg 3 Week 4 (19 February – 25 February):
Strategic dilemma with a strong forecast for Cape Horn
At 18:00 GMT on Sunday, Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel re-took the lead with
Cessna Citation as Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon climbed north with Financial Crisis,
dropping back to second place as the new leaders built on their lead overnight. In third
place with Phesheya-Racing, the South African duo of Nick Leggatt and Phillippa HuttonSquire reached 56S – the same latitude as Cape Horn 1,200 miles to the east – and
passed the area of iceberg sightings reported by Cessna Citation in the middle of the
previous week.
For the two frontrunners a tactical dilemma was
developing as an intense low pressure system
rumbled towards Drake Passage and Cape Horn. By
Tuesday afternoon, both Cessna Citation and Financial
Crisis had committed to their individual options with
the hardest sailing of the circumnavigation so far for
the two teams. Three options were available: Should
Cessna Citation and Financial Crisis sail as hard as
they can and attempt to outrun a gale that threatens Force 8-9 and pass through the
shallow and treacherous passage ahead of the system? Should they battle on into Drake
Passage towards a hostile coast with notoriously unpredictable conditions and hope their
boats could withstand the punishment? Or should they slow down, judge the system’s
track and – in theory - ride through the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate in the churning
water behind the low pressure.
As the South Africans to the west on Phesheya-Racing dealt with their own demons in
the shape of a high pressure system forecast to frustrate progress to Cape Horn, Colman
and Kuttel pushed on fast for the cape and in the middle of
the Southern Ocean night at 06:25 GMT on Wednesday 22
February, Cessna Citation crossed the Felipe Cubillos Cape
Horn Gate with the 28 year-old Kiwi, Colman, and his 41
year-old South African co-skipper, Kuttel, joining the ranks
of Cape Horners and taking the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn
Trophy in memory of the late Chilean yachtsman and
skipper of the first Class40 to round Cape Horn in the
2008-09 GOR.
Meanwhile, 300 miles west of Cessna Citation on Wednesday afternoon in second place
on Financial Crisis, the Italian-Spanish duo hove-to at
57S, south-west of the cape, to avoid intercepting gale
force winds sweeping up from Antarctica, carrying
storm jib and four reefs in the main. Reporting that all
was well on Financial Crisis, their skilled and text book
hove-to manoeuvre worked comfortably in 35-45
knots and gusts up to 55 knots. As the low pressure
moved on, heading for Cape Horn, and centred southeast of Financial Crisis, Nannini and Ramon were back
in the game, tucking into the 30-knot south-westerlies on the back of the system while
the South Africans on Phesheya-Racing were picking their way across the top of a high
pressure system, slowing to under three knots as the light airs struck at 58S with 860
miles to Cape Horn.
At 23:25 GMT on Thursday 23 February, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon crossed the
Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate at 56S with Class40 Financial Crisis. Racing 49 miles off
the infamous outcrop at the southern tip of Chile. Meanwhile, 370 miles to the north of
Financial Crisis on Friday afternoon, Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel were 150 miles off
the coast of Patagonia with Cessna Citation having left the Falkland Islands to starboard
on Thursday night. Although the breeze had gone lighter for the New Zealand-South
African GOR leaders, around 400 miles to the north a deep low pressure is building with
50+ knot winds forecast before the system tracks eastwards and into the South Atlantic.
Leg 3 Week 5 (26 February – 3 March):
First boat home after 31 days
With Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire finally shaking off the light winds southwest of Cape Horn with Phesheya-Racing, the South Africans remained the only GOR
Class40 in the Pacific as Cessna Citation and Financial Crisis left the Falkland Islands to
starboard and raced north off the coast of Patagonia. Throughout the weekend, Colman
and Kuttel increased their lead on Cessna Citation, digging into strong, 35-45 knots of
south-easterly wind spinning off the back of a deep low pressure system and hitting 13knots averages.
South-west of Financial Crisis by 445 miles on Sunday
afternoon, Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire had
climbed up to 57S in their final approach to the Felipe
Cubillos Cape Horn Gate, while leading the fleet towards
the Leg 3 finish line in Punta del Este, Uruguay, Conrad
Colman – who was made Seahorse Magazine’s Sailor of the
Month – and his South African co-skipper, Adrian Kuttel,
stayed in strong winds, but punishing seas, as they chased
the low pressure eastwards into the South Atlantic with
Cessna Citation, hanging onto the strong south-westerlies and attempting to avoid the
light airs lurking in the system’s path. West of the Falkland Islands by 150 miles in
second place, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon with Financial Crisis sailed straight into
strong headwinds west of the Falklands encountering hellish conditions and frustratingly
slow progress.
On Monday 27 February, Phesheya-Racing crossed the
Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate at 18:01:54 GMT,
winning the GOR’s Cape Horn Navigation Award
instituted by GOR Race Committee member, Alan
Green, for submitting their predicted Cape Horn ETA to
within an astonishing one minute and 54 seconds when
1,000 miles west of the longitude of the Horn.
Meanwhile, after a slow final 24 hours crossing the 120mile wide mouth of the Rio de la Plata, Conrad Colman
and Adrian Kuttel crossed the Leg 3 finish line in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in first place
with their Akilaria RC2 Cessna Citation at 18:37:30 local time on Wednesday 29
February (20:37:30 GMT). The 28 year-old Kiwi, Conrad Colman, and his 41 year-old
South African co-skipper, Adrian Kuttel, took 31 days 18 hours 37 minutes and 30
seconds to complete the 6,300 mile course from Wellington, New Zealand, to Uruguay.
While personnel from the GOR Race Organisation were preparing to board RIBs at the
Yacht Club Punta del Este and head into the South
Atlantic for a rendezvous with Cessna Citation, it was
noted that the South African Class40, PhesheyaRacing was near-stationary and very close to the
Jason Island archipelago just north-west of the
Falkland Islands mid-evening GMT on Wednesday.
Calls were immediately made to family members in
Cape Town and to the Class40 to confirm that yacht’s status and news quickly arrived
that Phesheya-Racing had sailed straight into a raft of kelp and remained stuck and
drifting towards the coast until Nick Leggatt dived into the freezing water and cut the
kelp away. Once freed, Leggatt and Hutton-Squire began beating into north-westerlies
and holding averages of seven to eight knots as they climb north through the South
Atlantic 250 miles off the coast of Patagonia while 500 miles to the north and 112 miles
from the Leg 3 finish line in Punta del Este, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon sailed along
the coast of Argentina close inshore, passing the bright lights of Mar del Plata on Friday
night and entering the mouth of Rio de la Plata at 14:00 GMT on Saturday.
Leg 3 Week 6 (4 March – 7 March):
Final two boats finish an epic voyage
The 33-year-old, Italian-Slovak skipper, Marco Nannini,
and his 26-year-old Spanish co-skipper, Hugo Ramon,
took second place in GOR Leg 3 with Class40 Financial
Crisis, crossing the finish line in Punta del Este at
08:54:20 local (10:54:20 GMT) on Sunday, completing
the long leg through the Pacific and South Atlantic in 35
days 08 hours 54 minutes and 20 seconds. While Nannini
and Ramon took their first steps on land, to the south of
Punta del Este by 500 miles, Phesheya-Racing of Nick Leggatt and Phillippa HuttonSquire, was 200 miles off Patagonia’s Valdes Peninsular with continued headwinds as
they beat north from the Falklands, suffering a severe knockdown in 35-40 knots, but
surviving with headsail damage. On Wednesday 7 March, after a week of upwind sailing,
the South African duo crossed the Leg 3 finish line in Punta del Este in third place with
their Akilaria Class40, Phesheya-Racing at 16:26:20 local (18:26:20 GMT) taking 38
days 16 hours 26 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the course from Wellington.

7. GOR LEG 3 FINISH LINE QUOTES:
1. Cessna Citation:
Conrad Colman: “Sign me up for the next one!
All the books make a big thing of gales at 60S,
but there we were, sitting there twiddling our
thumbs and looking stupid. We signed up for the
worst, but the most unpleasant bit wasn’t the
gales, it was the calms. We were in the middle of
a sail change and Adrian said ‘There’s something
over there’ [icebergs]. It gives me a good excuse
to come back again and get closer look [not
sighting Cape Horn]. We got a proper blow [off
Patagonia] when we buried into a depression on
the way up here and we had 50 knots at times
and sustained 40s with boat speeds in the mid20s pretty regularly. It’s astonishing because the
boat just kept trucking and it was fairly easy. What a rocket ship this boat is. Being first
out of Wellington and being first here is really very special.”
Adrian Kuttel: “It was fantastic sailing, just full-on. Sitting on deck, freezing with Marco
and Hugo charging down on us was just terrible. The icebergs added a couple of grey
hairs. There was some pressure there to get moving [outrunning the gale at Cape Horn].
The boat takes a beating and then comes back for more.”
2. Financial Crisis:
Marco Nannini: “Who would have thought? Financial Crisis second overall! It must be a
joke? We’re really very, very pleased. Personally, I had moments in the South when I
thought that I don’t want to ever come back
here. I know it only takes a few drinks
afterwards and it’s all forgotten, but there were
very tough moments. It was pretty much like
sailing on the Grand Banks in the OSTAR,”
reports Nannini of their trip to 60S. It’s just very,
very miserable down there [60S] but we had
very light winds when we were down there,
which is surprising for where we were. When we
came to Cape Horn we had to slow down and
preserve the boat and I’m glad we did as we’ve
arrived here in Punta with very little damage. I
am absolutely determined to complete the
circumnavigation and finish the race in Les Sables d’Olonne, so every decision is always
based on limiting damage to the boat. Once we passed the Le Maire Strait we had 35-45
knots upwind which wasn’t forecast in the GRIB files. Nasty and slow, just going
nowhere doing four knots. I think the last 1,200 miles from Cape Horn to Punta were
some of the hardest of the leg with light and, usually, unfavourable winds. The stress of
running this campaign has been enormous and demanding and I would only come back
with a properly funded campaign. I’d be interested in running a team entry for the next
GOR with proper funding and some new talent from Italy with an all-Italian entry.”
Hugo Ramon: “Looking back, being in the South was OK, but if you’re so close to land,
you want to be on it and just looking at it is very painful! “It’s something that you can’t
really imagine on shore [Southern Ocean]. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, or that it’s
always uncomfortable, but it’s so different to life on land that sometimes you have to be
there to feel the difference and appreciate what you have on shore. I’m going to miss
Marco. He’s a lovely guy and for two very macho men to survive in such a small space is
a truly great achievement! I don’t have the pressure that Marco has of running the
campaign, so there is a lot more for me to enjoy and every moment is easy and fantastic
while he has to worry about money and keeping the boat in one piece. So it’s really
impressive the job he’s done. If someone gives me the opportunity, I’ll be back in the
southern Ocean as soon as possible. Until then, I’ll be back at home in Mallorca working
on my next round-the-world project.”
3. Phesheya-Racing:
Nick Leggatt: “There weren’t very strong winds, only about 47 knots. But the sea state
was just horrendous. As a front comes through, the wind shifts and the waves just turn
into pyramids. We didn’t think the boat would fall
apart, but we thought we might fall apart! One
autopilot was completely cooked, but we rewired it and although it doesn’t look like the way
it should be wired in the manual, it does work.
We thought we were clear of the Falklands and
then the boat stopped completely and we were in
a massive raft of kelp stretching out as far as the
eye could see. It was time to go for a swim. With
a wetsuit that is more suitable for the Caribbean,
no boots or hood, I jumped in. It [kelp] just
came off really, really easy and I got back on
deck completely blue and frozen.”
Phillippa Hutton-Squire: “It [being hove-to] was like being at home, very steady and
you even make a cup of tea. It was more the fear that we would have to turn round and
head back to New Zealand that made us determined to fix the [autopilot] problem. The
morale on board took a big dive. Both because we were so isolated in terms of safety
with other boats, but also competitively. I don’t think it did us any good at all initially,
going north to avoid the cyclone, and for the rest of the leg we were on our own, so it
was big time in our minds. We were within a mile-and-a-half of Cape Horn on a beautiful
day despite squalls coming over and rain, but we did manage to take some photos and
of course we drank champagne. The Jason Islands are very steep and rocky and big
waves were breaking over them and this focussed our attention remarkably!”
