They talked about the passing of the baton (as Za prepares for the 2027 Globe Solo Challenge and Cole farewells her boat after her own GSC circumnavigation), what they learnt from this voyage, the way they worked together and how they hope that their communication style makes ocean racing interesting for sailors and non-sailors alike.
