About 200 pictures were taken by the Max Havelaar crew from a surfing NED 602. Though winds had dropped to 18 knots, with a little effort of the skipper, large surfs could still be made on the existing waves…. (click on photos for high-definition images).

Under “Gallery” and then page “Mid Atlantic Meeting with Max havelaar” a selection of these foto’s can be seen.

Hij legde de 1300 zeemijl af in de razend snelle tijd van 7 dagen 1 uur 43 minuten en 56 seconden. Hulde!

Robert Rosen Jacobson finished 5th on Tuesday the 24th of August at 16:43:56 at Les Sables. Sailing 1300 nm in 7 days, 1 hour, 43 minutes and 56 seconds is an amazing job!

“Seul concurrent à choisir de se démarquer de l’ensemble du groupe, Robert Rosenjacobson ( NED 602 ) qui, à la faveur d’un recalage dans le nord, tente un dernier coup de poker pour essayer d’accrocher le podium”.
According to the tracking page he changed course for a more northerly approach to the finish. Seems quite drastic to me …

This photo of Robert broaching is made by one of the accompanying ships.

Keep your fingers crossed!

For those who can read French!

`Au départ du prologue, quelques concurrents montraient de belles dispositions, notamment Ryan Finn (252) premier à franchir la ligne ou bien encore Robert Rosenjacobson (NED 602) auteur d’un départ magistral en bout de ligne.`
