Race 13 - Day 1
Skipper Report
18 July

So we are under way again! Derry-Londonderry was a truly fantastic stop and thank you to everyone for looking after us so well.

It's been an eventful race already, the start was ok until our tack line got wrapped around the bowsprit, causing the shackle to blow itself meaning we had to execute a quick drop and change to another spinnaker. Then, last night seconds before we were about to change down from our lightweight spinnaker, the head ripped clean off. The crew did well in recovery, however all mishaps have seen us towards the back of the fleet which is annoying, especially in light of our recent success. Chances to catch up in this race will be few and far between.
