Fastnet in a day

The sun came out, a northerly wind started to blow so it was the perfect time to set sail... so a team from Hamble did just that.
And now they're waiting to see if they can claim a World Sailing Speed Record after knocking almost 3 hours off the time for the Fastnet Race course.
But as BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley reports, Cowes to Plymouth via the Fastnet lighthouse isn't for the faint hearted.
