At least Dees nice shiny new boat has just been launched ready for her return, thats must put a silver lining on things...


No, I think it's only dee who has lost her rig. All the others are in another race.


My mistake... still, within a worryingly short timespan.


Yep I totally agree with you. I think its 3 in the Barcelona world race, and 1 in the B2B too and also a keel has failed in the Barcelona race. It's just a little worrying that a very high percentage of these boats are breaking and going wrong.
Needs to sail more...
