A half-tonner crew recounts finishing the Skagen race as the last boat in, after a slow, punishing passage from Norway. The boat, bought used in 2024 and upgraded with new instruments, an autopilot, and a drogue sail, kept pace with the fleet as far as Sørgrundsbergskjær before falling behind.1:25 A wind shift to the south left them beating at 120-degree tacks in the shipping lane, speed dropping to one knot in chop and current, forcing the engine on briefly just to clear the fairway.2:02 Off Skagensrev, an hour or two of hail reduced visibility to near zero, followed by squall cells carrying heavy rain and wind.2:38 The final twelve hours put all crew on watch, with the two forward berths too wet to use.3:32 The skipper, Bjørn, has raced to Skagen since 2002 and previously attempted it with a Mini in 2017 but retired.0:26 The crew plans to return home Saturday morning.2:55 Crossing the finish line mattered more than position.0:45
