We had a great day sailing yesterday but a spinnaker wrap meant we had a significant tear in our Code 2 (mediumweight spinnaker). Unfortunately, being without a Code 3 (heavyweight spinnaker) this meant we needed to fly our Code 1 (lightweight spinnaker). It was really quick but a little light weight for the conditions. Anyway, that soon had some small tears too so we have been working hard to get the lightweight spinnaker (Code 1) flying again and we are now well underway with getting the Code 2 (mediumweight spinnaker) back together. This will mean that come the end we'll have the sails we need to make a strong finish.
Between sail repair, we have been keeping a good eye on the weather and hope to sail around some of the wind holes that others in the fleet have found themselves parked up in. Only five days to go - we hope!
