Not the initial onboard reaction I expected but that's the difference between winning it on the water and via jury decision. Very well deserved and without doubt. Congrats!

They only needed a single point, they would have got that but for the obvious event.

Thank you 11th hour 🎉 in these troubling times this team, these Champions, have provided a huge boost to moral back home in the States. Congratulations bless you all, Thank you ❤⛵️👍

Never. Give. Up. There's a lesson here for all of us.

bravo! to Chuckster and the band! I followed the race the entire way, it was a real treat to see you win. I sure wish there would have been live youtube coverage of the arrivals for each of the legs. It would have made it so much better for the folks outside of Europe

Thank heavens! So happy for all of you - not the way you wanted to win - for any sailor - but you stayed true to the Team and came through in the end - the biggest congrats to everyone involved including all the competitors.

You guys have always been winners from day one. Now 11th Hour Racing has a much larger platform to work on the health of the earth, the oceans and the land -- and that includes composting! You are still our local hero here in Bristol, Rhode Island but now you can add National Treasure to your resume. Congrats to you all. What an incredible tight team. Onward!

CONGRATULATIONS! Chance favors the prepared mind (and team)! - Jonas Salk

Well done! They absolutely tortured you guys waiting for the decision. Well done for the entire team.

You definetly DESERVED it! Congratulations to all the 11th Hour Racing Team. Well done! ❤

Well deserve team. Congratulations.

Congratulations! Well deserved🎉

Congrats 11th Hour Racing! The right decision was made, and you guys deserve to take the trophy!

Congratulations from New Orleans!

Congrats guys .. well done ... Celebrate!!

Well done gang- great news

I just want to shout out to the video editor for that last bit of "team daddy" Mark, "you there? can you hear me?", with the crew obliviously playing like a bunch of 5 year olds. Reminds me of my mother at the screen door shouting for me to come in. Brilliant. (p.s. sailing is not F1, or any other sport, and redress is not a "yank" thing ... let it go)

A very deserved win; The best TEAM in the race

Great. Congratulations.

What a great team of people! Thanks for the pleasure of watching your race! Well done, and congratulations.

I guess it's time to change how all races are run. F1, Indy Car, Ralley, etc. If your in the lead and someone hits you, you win by jury.

Not similar sport, rules, environment, culture, racetrack. No comparison

So stoked to see the long hours of hard work, practice and devotion to the ocean rewarded. Very well deserved Malama and crew!

Amazing. Was so pumped to read the news first thing this morning. Well done.

Surprising silence on board!😮

🎉🎉🎉 I can see it’s bitter sweet at first but hey… WAY TO GO, 11th Hour Racing! It has been great to take this journey, virtually, with you again. 10 10 10 10 for the jumps and dives! Nice can opener!

This is beyond awesome! You were all winners in my heart from the get go ! Mille auguri , Congratulations!!! Go 11th hour, dream team! 🎉❤

I don't think this is the way to go... Really felt for the team after the incident but shit happens and this is not fair to the other teams not involved in the collision. Just imagine if this was the norm in F1 etc...

@@jweitzenheimer Of course it's not the same sport and rules. That's why it's called a comparison... Want to compare with sailing instead of other sports? Fine. They've never done this in the Americas Cup despite similar incidents. Culture or not... And whats next? "Average points" awarded if the mast breaks on a leg etc?

​@@BilldalSWE You better believe that if there is a collision in an Americas Cup race there would be redress asked for. I'm not interested in doing the research but I'd be surprised if there has been no incidents like this

@@BilldalSWE Utter nonsense. In the 2013 America's Cup Oracle was penalized 2 points *before the final even started* for rules infractions that occurred a year earlier in a different regatta. Basically this was 2 points of redress to New Zealand before the racing had even begun. Ultimately Oracle won in an amazing comeback but there was a moment towards the end when Oracle could have one more races on the water and still lost the cup. Penalties hearings are a regular part of the AC competition so I'm not sure what AC races you are watching because it's not the ones Ive been watching. And no, equipment failure is explicitly not covered by redress (as you would know if you bothered reading the rules you are complaining about). The rules for redress are very clear and very logical. In fact this decision, base purely on reading the rules was not a difficult one at all. It potentially had great ramifications but the decision was easy. With Holcim finishing 3rd in the final leg a lot of the angst disappeared.

It’s been incredible to watch the journey.

I am so happy at this outcome!

should just let 11hr race after the fix, finished fourth, 2 points, 'nuff for the win

Not sure you needed 4 pts, when 1 (even 3 if Holcim won) was enough. But heh, congratulations on a race well sailed, and deserved winners.

Strange race. 11th Hour gets to the finish 2 or 3 days later an is the winner???

I don’t like the decision, basically wining in a boardroom and not on water sucks. However It is sort of yank way of doing sport everything is litigation. Team that has won my ❤ is team Malizia everything done in good spirits and beautiful sportsmanship. 👍💥👏 the finish was tarnished by that jury’s decision which was otherwise a fantastic race.

That is the fact, and even if team Malizia finished last that team just resonated with me so yes they are number one in my eyes and don’t really care for your input. 👍💥👏

Here in Yankland we live with these folks who's opinions are so far removed from fact and truth that the opinions veer into conspiracy theory. We call them Trumpers

At the risk of spreading a negative vibe, my honest opinion it’s very unfortunate what happened but there are no winners

It wasn't justice because the other teams did nothing wrong , the organisers did wrong , team Europe should not have been racing with you , it's a round the world race , they didn't finish one leg , and didn't start the next , it's not sail half way round the world race , you didn't race all the way round you retired ,
