A truly amazing feat of seamanship and courage by Goss. He beat to windward in huge seas and high wind in the South Indian Ocean for two days, and managed to locate and rescue Rafael Dinelli (with a little help from the Real Australian Air Force).

He is rightly viewed as a hero in France, and was awarded the Legion d'Honneur by President Chirac.
