Thanks for a great event!

Now that the event is over, we would just like to thank all of those who supported our effort, either with kind words, cheers from the shoreline or through the various sponsorships.

We would also like to thank our hosts, the New York Yacht Club who seemed genuinely pleased to support their very first multihull event, and how fitting this was that it was the LITTLE Americas Cup.

Thanks also to Sail Newport who gave us use of their Mule Barn and beach for the run-up trials, we never got a chance to say goodbye as we packed in a hurry to avoid a sudden squall.

Finally, thanks to Fred and Steve who shared the transport costs of getting the boat there. I suspect that they were glad they didnt offer to pay for the "hoards of Englishmen" (actually, we had South African, Czech, Irish, French, German, Spanish and half a Dutchman there as well as a handful of English!).

Overall it was an amazing experience for all of us, and staggered that we were centre of so much attention, perhaps mainly thanks to the interest in Americas Cup AC34, however, I hope people can now see that our event is way cooler. The "spirit of C class" is hard to beat - fierce competition on the water, all pulling together off the water, this event is truly unique.

We have agreed with Steve and Fred that Team Invictus will host the next event in 2013 in the UK, the exact venue will be announced when we have done our research, we need to ensure that we put on as good a show as NYYC did this year.

The beauty of this event is the blend of technical stuff and sailing, the boffins get to go first, and so the race to be first over that line in 2013 starts NOW, pencils at the ready!

Thanks for watching NW
