There was loads of different kit among the 110 entrants on the startline – tandems, longboards, old school Superlights, kids’ kit, wave kit, everything! But given the insane conditions only nine managed to make it round and across the finish line. The honours went to Guy Cribb in a time of 1 hour 8 minutes, we asked him how it went:  “I knew the Round Hayling Marathon was going to be won or lost in the lulls as the speed disparity between two sailors at full speed is very little, but if one isn’t planing, it’s massive, so I rigged big. I took my biggest slalom board – the 2010 Fanatic Falcon – straight out of the wrapper with a 50cm fin to ensure great upwind and early planing performance. I powered this with my brand new North Warp 8m, and downhauled the life out of it for maximum control. There were people planing on 4.5ms! And literally as we started the wind just nuked off the scale." “I planed full speed at the bridge, dropped my rig down for a second or two, with it skimming the roof as cars drove overhead, then pulled it back up hardly losing any speed, pumping hard to catch another gust and blasted through the next obstacles, lulls and currents into Langstone Harbour on the west side of Hayling. "By the time I passed the Ferry Boat Inn on West Hayling, I’d only been sailing for 30 minutes and was over two-thirds of the way round the course looking great for a totally new record time. Apparently the next sailor to pass the Ferry Boat Inn was 41 minutes behind." “But then the shit hit the fan. A 42 knot squall demolished everyone, myself included, big time. I was just exiting Langstone Harbour against the tide in shoulder-high chop, in the worst tidal current I’ve probably ever seen, it was a ridiculous: 10 knot current, enourmous chop and white water, in 40 knots, on an 8m sail and a board only 230cm long." “After that I had no energy to hold any speed down the front of Hayling and what had been a perfect situation for a record attempt was scuppered. To make matters worse the wind dropped to zilch and I couldn’t plane the last mile or so, finishing in 1 hour 8 minutes, some 14 minutes away from the record."
