I think thats the 6th boat to loose a rig now in this one race? 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. ------------- Needs to sail more... |

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... |
