Britannia will not race again. The King will not 'race another yacht. His Majesty is reported to have replied, when offered a faster craft: I do not want a new yacht. The Britannia is good enough for me. Major Sir Philip Hunloke, who is the King’s sailing master, commented: One cannot come in last all the time. It is humiliating to the old boat. It is better to retire while she has a wonderful record.
