'A happy boat is a fast boat' - Record-breaking Heather Thomas gets a Clipper third place #yachtrace
On Friday, Heather Thomas broke another record. She finished sailing around the world as the skipper for Team Scotland in the Clipper Race. Thomas and First Mate Millie Apperley are the first female leadership duo to get on a Clipper podium. Overall, Team Scotland finished in third, with 96 points.
We caught up with Heather right after the Parade of Sail into Portsmouth on Saturday. The parade celebrated ending the approximately 40,000 nautical mile journey around the world.
Here's how Heather felt.
