Charlotte is safely at geraldton. The news is that at around 730pm last night the boat went faster than the wind down a wave which caused the spinnaker to wrap around the forestay. bad wrap that took several hours to free during the night. This meant that they were travelling with only staysail and main most of the night but we still humming along quite well. Without this the boat would have been up with OP in in a tight finish. Oh well there will be more chances. Top boat speed was only 20-21 knots. Also blew out the head out of the stay sail. Guess we need to build it a bit stronger. Overall one shreaded kite one shreaded stay sail, two destroyed halyards but all well and the rum is starting to set in nicely.........
