Amazing adventure , being the fastest boat doesn't automatically mean winning .I believe they missed beating the existing record by a day...that's tough.17.5 mph that's fast by any standard.These guys now have the Guinness World Record for the first multi hull to have been rowed across any of the world's oceans.Well done men ! There was never a statue erected in honor of a critic.They built the boat themselves and rowed it across the Atlantic Ocean ....NUF said !

An interesting video about a very considerable achievement. However, you'd never learn from this that Orca, which Finlay claims is the "fastest ever" (27:29), in fact *lost* her race with Mondiale by nearly three days, or that it was Mondiale that that set a new record time. I don't know if it was Findlay, or VVH-TV that chose to ignore Mondiale's fine performance, but it wasn't very sporting.
