#GGR2022 Simon Curwen onboard Clara interview after his epic around the world adventure 

Taking nothing away from Kirsten's amazing achievement, we all know that Simon is the real 'winner'. I mean, the fact that he stopped for a whole week, sailed a couple of thousand nautical miles away from the course, and still came in the first boat, is quite simply stunning!

Simon - kudos to you - you are an exceptional sailor - so sorry about your Hydrovane - you had it in the bag - thank you - it was wonderful watching you race. Take a bow I applaud you. Thank you for the gear review..

What a wonderful interview. Loved Simon and learned a lot. Don you are doing an amazing event.... Thank you!

Excellent interview. So informative! The technical details are extremely interesting to me. Additionally, I'm intrigued with the differences in approach to some things by the participants, both in terms of preparing the boat for the race, but also in the mental challenges before and during, and hearing them discuss that. The permutations of human behavior are endless, but also endlessly interesting. What a test the GGR is! Slightly paraphrasing, "You won't get any of that emotional stuff from me".

No problem with three hours if it is interesting and inspiring! Thanks Simon and Don!

Great to hear from a great sailor as Simon his experience on the boat. Thanks Don for this video 1 hour very enjoyable. Good luck Simon for your next challenges.

Great interview! what a pleasure listening to Simon talking with so cool head about his experience during the race. Thank you for sharing!

What a great interview, 🙏 Well done Simon - great sail 👍

Great interview thanks Don and Simon

Just found this video. Many thanks for this interesting run through the boat. As others have said, your sailing ability was stunning.

I love these kinds of chats. I especially like the technical bits.

Thank you! Absolutely brilliant!

Wonderful Simon. Congratulations.

Well done Simon !

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, Don and team. Thank you.

I was looking forward to this and not disappointed. Well done Simon and team Howden on a great campaign

Nice! This is epic, thanks Don, Jane and team and Simon 😀

He is so British in the best possible way! Btw, very interesting format! Will there be also interviews with Kirsten and Abhilash?

Well done Simon, amazing achievement

Great information distilled from the test. Fine voyage.

Thanks Simon, a lot of interesting details and background in there, and what an amazing catch up from Puerto Montt!

Very educational. Many Thanks from Thailand.

Congratulations Simon well sailed, .. thanks Don !

Simon you arrived here in Kingston Beach and made me ask the question what’s that yacht doing thinking a second local film. But no I learnt about the GGR. To end up first in to France was beyond amazing well done and Congratulations for persisting like Abhilash.

Bravo Simon. A role model and not just for sailing.

Loved the interview but please please spend more camera time on the boat bits the person is talking about than on the face of the person. I’ve noticed this on all your videos showing the boats. Thanks for all you’re all doing. Love it. ⛵️😎 Elaine

Great to hear all this background detail. Congratulations 🍾. Line honours the least you deserved 🏁.

that was very interesting thx for showing

Fantastic effort Simon, was really disappointed with your back luck of Chilli. That's sailing I suppose.

amazing sailor, great drive

A !40 percent jenoa comes 40 percent aft of the mast as the fore triangle is 100 percent.

Why are Cape Horn wind vanes not allowed on the GGR?

How did your mattress hold up? No mould? Congratulations on you the lap.

Shame we can only hear Simon

I hope you get a new cameraman for next time coz the shots in this video were really really bad (at least try to film what you are talking about/discussing and not just ppls face or the sky).

Now about this flat earth theory LOL

I think the GGR should stop calling it a race, instead GGS, GOLDEN GLOBE SOLO.

Calling him Real Winner what are you trying to say. He sailed a completely different race. Compare apples to apples
