PRB covered the theoretical course of 4,350 nautical miles at an average speed of 12.84 knots but actually sailed 5,035.27 nautical miles at an average speed of 14.82 knots. It finished 15 hours 41 minutes and 42 seconds behind the winner, Apivia.
In dramatic finish, PRB held off Charal all the way down the coast of north-east Brazil and as it went very light (under 8-knot unstable westerlies) at the finish, were little more than a mile ahead.
