Don't think that's totally fair! We did our best and with two masts breaking on Friday I think coming in was probably the sensible option. BSC rescue teams did a great job. BTW only one 'd' in Shadow - one of the things we share with the Tornado ;-) |

They did indeed do a fantastic job even with Geoff being distracted by his Go Pro camera.....
Yes it probably was the sensible option to stay on shore, the waves got pretty big out there at some points. Hope to see you again at the next event, I will work on my spelling in the meantime. |

Looking forward to seeing the footage. I didn't get to turn mine on as, needless to say, I was a bit busy on Friday and didn't venture out after that .
 At least we got several boats converted ready for the new big spinnakers. Maybe we should have gone for yellow ones again instead of black

No, I was sailing the Tornado.
Geoff Gritton was driving the boat and provided the head camera - www.tb4e.com is his website. Apparantly Seb was on the chicken wire but it didn't work......... |

Why sorry for his wallet?; I'd bet the only thing they might have broken is the shockcord on the crews trapeze line.
