Really nice to visit @Imerys today to talk about my fossil-free #RDR2018 and discuss sleep and self-management. Thanks for all your support and glad to help christen some paper models!
He’s done it again 🏆 @Phil_Sharp_ wins the 2018 Class40 Championship 🏆 Securing podium positions in every championship race he utterly dominated what is a fiercely competitive fleet and has been rightly rewarded with the Class40 title ����🍾 MORE ➡️ https://t.co/CKNJ22UxJM
🍾 The moment Phil sailed Imerys Clean Energy over the finish line in Guadeloupe to finish in 3rd place after 16 days 13 hours 1 minute 50 seconds, averaging a speed of 11.30 kts and covering an actual distance sailed of 4,487 miles 👏 #RDR2018
🍾 🥉 A brilliant 3rd place for Phil Sharp aboard Imerys Clean Energy 🥉 🍾 and at no easy feat - "Altogether the boat Chinese Gybed twice and broached at least 30 times, which I can tell you is not a nice experience day or night… " More here >> https://t.co/9wqMfuM9ti
🤔 An absolute nail biter… 100 miles remain and there will be no rest for the two skippers who will soon enter the final tactical challenge of the race. The light airs of Guadeloupe… #RDR2018
Attrition update >> To date the race has resulted in 32 official race retirements including two capsizes and several dismasts. In the Class40 category there have been 12 official retirements and countless pit-stops to land #RDR2018
After 20,000nm of racing, signs of mainsail fatigue are beginning to show with the opening of a hole in the lower section, which, ironically occurred yesterday when Phil achieved the best Class40 performance over 24hrs covering 251.5nm at an average speed of 10.5 kts 💪 #RDR2018
Congratulations to 62 year old @FrancisJoyon who has won the @UltimBoat setting a new record on not only an old boat, but also a modest budget and a small team of family and friends. Not too dissimilar from our skipper, 2,000 miles to go, we know he can do it! #GOPHIL#RDR2018
#ImerysCleanEnergy and @PhilSharpRacing still going strong despite horrendous weather conditions. Well done Phil for maintaining the 2nd position in the Class40 fleet! #GoImerys
“I spent yesterday afternoon making repairs. One of the valves for the water ballasts is broken & I’ve been bailing a lot, but I haven't found the source of this water yet... I also found my rudders were loose!! So relieved to resolve that problem! Phil.” #RDR2018
