'The crew, skippered by professional yachtsman Clive Cosby but otherwise consisting entirely of weekend sailors and novices, confounded yachting experts by opting to continue the second, and hardest, leg of the race from Buenos Aires to Wellington.' This after their second medivac, forcing them to head back into the Southern Ocean for a third time. Having caught up once before 'showing excellent heavy weather sailing ability' they found themselves two weeks and some 2,000nm behind the racing fleet.

Team Stelmar went on to win the Trans-Atlantic leg, capitalising on their experience of adversity, and turn it into victory. Clive tells of building the team, leading them against the odds and how they came through their challenges to achieve this result.
