McKee and four of the leaders from the first leg were penalised
for missing a mark at the opening stage of the leg north from
La Rochelle. "There was bad visibility. It wasn't a turning
mark, it was more of a channel mark," commented McKee. While
the race committee were threatening to throw out those who had
missed in the mark, in the event McKee was given a time penalty
of four hours - so he is still the winner of leg one of the
Mini Pavois. (On Leg Two, McKee's Team McLube crossed the finish
line in the Breton port of Douarnanez early Wednesday morning
- three hours ahead of the second placed boat ASNQ of Spanish
competitor Pascal Doin.)
From here McKee is now en route back home to Seattle to consolidate
with his family. He will not be taking part in the Mini Fastnet
race but will be back in mid-July to compete in the Open Demi
Cle from Locmiquélic to Port Bourgenay and in the final major
event of the season prior to the transatlantic race, the Transgascoigne
from Port Bourgenay to Gijon and back.
- From an in-depth interview with McKee posted on the Daily
Sail website.
