He moored his IMOCA New Europe this Wednesday, so putting an end to his adventure in this Vendée Globe. He had abandoned last Monday following the breakage of an intermediate D2 shroud.
With a smile on his face, the Hungarian skipper took the time to reflect on his disappointment. "It shouldn't have happened like that". “I never really got over the start to the race and my mainsail damage which require me to stop in the Canary Islands.”
The sailor spared no effort during his race, explaining that he "dived and climbed the mast three times" before his shroud broke.
"We came up with many options but it wasn't a good idea to continue," he adds. While he explains that he was "depressed" when he made this decision, he says,
“I want to see things in a positive light. I came from nowhere in ocean racing. I managed to become a skipper, to be comfortable in IMOCA, to start the Vendée Globe. I can be proud of myself and my team."
