So many great videos and images have been captured along this journey to Auckland, including from before anyone even hit the water to the days after Painkiller joined the other finishers in Auckland.

Please share with us any images or video you would like to contribute to the story of the inaugural Sydney to Auckland Ocean Race.

We have set-up a shared dropbox HERE or you can drag and drop files in the field below.

We know that many emotions were felt by family, friends and spectators watching your race from afar. Pride, anticipation, inspiration and of course concern for the safe return of our loved ones on this big adventure. How did you feel in lead up to the start?

We have heard of beautiful night skies, inspirational Skipper talks, challenging cold and big laughs! What was the biggest highlight of the race for you personally?

Were there any major setbacks or moments that you and your crew-mates faced that really tested your sailing skills and teamwork?
