What a sailor and person to behold. Happy to have been following your epic journey around the world, a true inspiration. That ice cream with berries on top you do deserve very much - cheers to you Kirsten!
So proud of my fellow South African!! What amazing strength and tenacity she has, and an inspiration to so many! Best wishes to you, Kirsten, as no doubt you will win the race within only an hour or two!
Fantastic achievement Kirsten, you are an inspiration to all sailors, I have been following the race from the start and you and Simon were setting the pace, Congratulations again and we look forward to following your next adventure.
Can’t believe I am so excited about this finish😂. Go, girl, go. You will change the hearts and hopes of many young girls to follow their dreams. The gift of hope to many.
Yes I hope one day my daughters do something like this. My 14 year old at the time would sail my 30ft boat. Out of the Harbor. I look forward to to seeing what’s to come when Kirsten wins. Don already going around the schools talking about the ggr. So hopefully these young kids take up the ggr challenge one day. Respect ✊🏻 to you to young lady.
Since first seeing Kirsten Working on her wonderful boat on Prince Edward's Island and interview with the school children, her strength and serenity shone through. I was hoping herself and Pat would be sharing the podium, Best of luck Kirsten, you are an inspiration to all courageous hearts and free spirits
What an inspiration! Congratulations Kirst, we have all been following you all the way. You can be so incredibly proud of your achievement. Can't wait to see you winning the race a little later today 👏🏻
Enormous congratulations to Kirsten, and the excellent progress she is making! I am honoured to have been a small part of this journey, and would like to think that some Island pride is helping to push her to the finish. Seeing that figurehead crashing through the beautiful clear waters is incredibly inspiring, and makes the splinters, sweat, and sanding all worth it, and then some!
So cool!! The last call! Interesting, Kirsten mentioned how fast the race has gone by,… for me too. Seems like 4 Sept. was yesterday. Little does she know about where she is in the fleet…😊
What a sailor she is. 🎊. Her seamanship is beyond amazing well done to everyone that entered the race Kirsten & Elliott 🎉. Tapio. Tommy is a great funny guy always smiling cheerful. Everyone of them that entered the GGR race are all crazy crazy crazy 😜 human beings Kirsten 🎉🎊🎉I can’t wait to see what’s to follower after it’s over. This is going to be world wide news. Host hope the woke people with blue puri hair stay away from it all. That’s all the ggr need. Love to use all GGR FAMILY. Going to miss use
She sounds so much more up beat that she did after the doldrums. Amazing but not surprising I guess that she does not know how she stand in the race! Cheers Warren
Looks amazing Kirsten, were you attached with a line to the boat when you were in the water behind the boat? I was thinking if you accidentally let go - help!
Looked to me as if she was just holding to the ladder, which seemed pretty reckless. Perhaps a floating line both ends fixed to the transom, one port one starboard??
hell i hate to go all 'sexist' but if only some of the blokes on the planet had a fraction of wot you got- go girl, a super sailor, made the world so proud- & wow we've needed it after a few yrs B.S. thankyou.
Given the BBC obsession with diversity, they seem to have missed this race, particularly in the Southern area with Simon Curwen coming in very soon and his local connections.
Kirsten still racing to the end, outstanding sailor and a great role model

Proud of her. Such strong women exist. Though i am from the same city that Abhilash Tommy comes from. 🎉
Was wanted to comment earlier but my phone would not cooperate. Best wishes Kirsten! First woman sailor to win the GGR.
Anna and I will adopt you if you ever need second and third moms in America! So proud of you, Kirsten!!!
You have to be excited for her. What's weird is that she doesn't know she is almost certainly going to be the winner of the GGR.
@@apusupa738 You would think. But not if we judge by that call.
@@nikolatesla5553 >> True that.
Apparently, she didn't know at this point. She said she found out 7 miles from the finish when boats came out to greet her.
Aagh what a gal... go you good thing go - well done KN - you rock..

Great Job Kirsten - You Have Got some Guts! Fantastic Sail! Keep UP Your Great Work! OooooAAAAAHHH! ;)

What a legend ⛵⛵⛵
we should all have ice cream and berries when she is safely arrived! worldwide feast!
What an inspiration to all!best wishes from plett.
I admire your victory!
Kirsten, you sound like the world wrapped in the love of South Africa.
Amazing Kirsten
You have to have 'On The Minnehaha" blaring from speakers on the quay when she enters LSO>>>>>
final call before HER Grand Arrival please.
opps...thanks :)
‘HER’ GRAND ARRIVAL
OMG
😅 opps.. copied and pasted...corrected...thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is all very exciting. Would Kirsten be aware that Simon had to stop for repairs? That he is in Chichester class?
I think that was disclosed in weekly sat calls at the time, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong today!
I think Minnehaha may just win the race, and bloody deservedly so!
Looks amazing Kirsten, were you attached with a line to the boat when you were in the water behind the boat? I was thinking if you accidentally let go - help!
Looked to me as if she was just holding to the ladder, which seemed pretty reckless. Perhaps a floating line both ends fixed to the transom, one port one starboard??
No she wasn’t using the line at that time.
@@Laters3 Thanks for clarifying! Well, she did an amazing job so she must know her boundaries.
@@dougdemonde ye we spoke about this when she did it at the time. Crazy to do that without a line. No way swinging 5nt
What a sailor, iron lady♥️♥️
beautiful
Thanks 🙏 mate’s everyone keeps telling me how beautiful I am. So thanks mate 😂
hell i hate to go all 'sexist' but if only some of the blokes on the planet had a fraction of wot you got- go girl, a super sailor, made the world so proud- & wow we've needed it after a few yrs B.S. thankyou.
#wootwoot🎉
fresh fruit and ice cream !
Plus an entry in the record books plus a great big 🏆 and to be able to read the title of this video with her not him.

ua-cam.com/video/Ls8WrNSJbrs/v-deo.html hanging in the water with one hand and nothing tying her to the boat. Isn't that very dangerous?
haha... MASSIVELY
I honestly believe Kirsten started off as a woman and I hope she finishes as a woman.
😂
What? 😮
I met her twice, she is a woman.
😂😂😂
She will finish as a legend !
Why would she bathe like that off the transom without a lifeline?
Superwoman powers
HER ! We know the GGR would sell its soul for box ticking promotion like most gormless company's, but don't do a Bud lite 🤣
😂
@@GoldengloberaceAt least you corrected it 🤣
