The photograph is taken from underneath, sunlight from above luminating the lizard and the top of the leaf. The lizard's head and two right feet hang over the edge of the leaf, while the rest of the lizards body is seen as a shadow cast through the green of the leaf contrasted with a black background.

Joy at last for Jethou.
By the Rolex Volcano Race Media Team, May 24, 2012.
transparent 12 by 12 pixel spacer graphic
Sir Peter Ogden’s 60-foot Mini Maxi Jethou (GBR) is the overall winner of the 2012 Rolex Volcano Race. Jethou was the third boat to finish the Leg Two of the offshore race, which concluded yesterday evening following a 300-nautical mile round trip from Capri through the Aeolian Islands. She ousted two titans of the water, the 112-ft Nilaya (BEL) and the 100-ft Wally Y3K (GER), to win on corrected time by just under an hour and a half.

It has been a fantastic week for the recently upgraded Jethou, which performed impressively in winning Saturday’s windward-leeward race in Gaeta in southern Italy. It then went on to finish second overall in Leg One of the offshore race, which ran some 100-nautical miles from Gaeta to Capri.

These two races served as the prelude to the main event, the 300 nauticam mile Leg Two of the offshore race.

Ogden was ecstatic following an enthralling race, his crew conquering an offshore event for the first time.

“It was a good race; great fun. I knew we were going to be competitive and we had a bit of luck. This was probably the strongest Rolex event we’ve done in terms of the speed we reached. My abiding memory will be doing 26 knots, an unbelievable speed, as we passed Nilaya. However, the boat felt very secure. At one stage when we were reaching the boat became an aeroplane!”

For Ogden the success was an early birthday present ahead of Saturday.

“I’ve done a lot of yacht racing and never won a Rolex race, so after many attempts we are very happy!”

Both Ogden and the crew’s professional tactician Brad Butterworth believe the significant changes made over the winter to their yacht with similarities to Niklas Zennström’s 72-ft Mini Maxi Rán 2, have rendered her faster.

“We got it about right, the boat is a lot more powerful, it is a surprise why she was underpowered before as she was designed as a Rán 2 scaled down, but when you looked at her sail area to waterline length, Rán had a lot more power. Now we’re about the same,” explains Ogden.

“It was very exciting,” revealed America’s Cup legend Butterworth. “At the back end of the race and during the start we noticed a difference when it was quite light, as we’ve put a lot more power in the boat. She is a lot more responsive.”

The acid test for the revised Jethou will come when she faces her Mini Maxi rivals in September, at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Ogden also paid tribute to the knowledge to the boat that Butterworth brings.

“We are mostly an amateur crew. Brad has tremendous experience. He is one of the guys and really encourages everybody. He sees things in 3D, that nobody else does.”

The crew also count on the expertise of navigator Mike Broughton, who was thrilled with the final outcome.

“It was exciting beating into Capri as we had some wind which is not always the case here. It was a great decision by the race organisers not to send us into 30 to 35 knots of wind, that would have seen hideous conditions. The event was exciting, particularly around the volcanoes.”

Filip Balcaen’s Supermaxi Nilaya claimed line honours yesterday evening, completing the course in one day, two hours and five minutes.

Jethou will be awarded the coveted Rolex Trophy and timepiece during the traditional Rolex party at the iconic La Canzone del Mare, held on Friday evening. Nilaya will receive a Rolex timepiece as winners of line honours.

The 2012 Rolex Volcano Race has been characterised by the success of two yachts comprised of mainly amateur sailors led by a sprinkling of professional talent, and for whom excellent team spirit has been the key to their respective triumphs.
