very interesting to compare speeds on AIS (as long as they are in reach to the internet). The IMOCAS are around 11-15 and RB3 (Hugo Boss) averaging 2 kts more. We'll find out if it's just a sweet spot or if she can sustain this advantage

In a very similar sea state MIRAGE lost her 4 year old mast from Ballenger when the T hook of the lower side stay broke 30 mi south of Key West. We figured the hook must have had a glitch in production. It really doesn't matter how new the rig is.
