Last week we celebrated 30 years since Sir Peter Blake and the crew of #Steinlager2 made sailing history in the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. In this video Peter (PJ) Montgomery and original crew members Mark Orams and Tony Rae share their memories of the historic race and the ongoing role of ‘Big Red’ with the NZ Sailing Trust.

“It was time at last to claim the Whitbread Trophy. After four unsuccessful attempts the victory this time was particularly sweet."
– Sir Peter Blake
Today marks 30 years since Sir Peter Blake and the legendary crew of #Steinlager2 crossed the finish line in the last leg of the 1989–90 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race.
This achievement was an inspirational legacy for many New Zealanders and today #Steinlager2 continues to inspire future generations through her ongoing adventures with the NZ Sailing Trust.
