Ventnor's Jed Pepping (left) with his brother Will-Jan, who has a holiday house at Ventnor, competed for the sixth time together. "We've not had any luck so far," Jed said. "It's a hard race to win, physically and mentally. You are out there for four to six hours, it's a long distance."
Will-Jan packed four energy bars, two gels, four packets of lollies and three litres of water for the event. "It's hard to eat and drink while sailing," he added.
