I have been sailing and racing for over 50 years and in all that time i never got a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye until saw our young people, team Bermuda cross the line first.

That sends a message to us all.

Now you know what sailing is all about.

There is no other sport on the planet that gives greater satisfaction . It give the looser the opportunity to congratulate the winner.

Next international challenge could be the BERMUDA T.T. 15 day 50 mile road race, if speed is what you want.

TEAMBDA made a HUGE ACHIEVEMENT and success to get into the finals – let alone anything else. They were up against teams that have been sailing for years and our guys only really started 18 months ago. They have every reason to be so proud and we must also be so proud of them all. I only ask one thing. Do NOT stop here or now. Keep going and keep perserving and keep learning – there will be greatness in the future I am certain. Well done TEAMBDA !!!

Team BDA can definitely hold their head up high, against a field of more seasoned competitors, they held their own. Hopefully this is only the beginning for this programme.

Bermuda made it to the final, won the first race of the finals and managed a 3rd. Other race results were mixed, but they battled the whole time. They never gave up. Extremely proud of each and every one of Team BDA. hold your heads up high, very high.

Congratulations to all the youth teams. I was sorry to see Bermuda did not win but they should be proud of their team as they beat Japan and USA and performed well with their first ever AC Cup youth team.

I was very pleased to see that the English Team BAR Land Rover had a female on board in this male dominated sport. It was the only team that had a female on board and the only team in this whole month of sailing that had a women. Well done BAR Land Rover for this factor alone.

Bermuda Team you did us all proud! Next time I would like to believe a woman can and will make the team.
