The story

Team 25 was the first British crew entered in the ninth edition’s Prologue: a carbon Outerlimits SV 52, the Super Vee hull from the Bristol, Rhode Island yard.

Three Adriatic legs from Venice to Rodi Garganico: the Outerlimits won the final stage out of Pescara and topped the overall standings with 927 points, ahead of Albatro and Searex.
