    Trans-Atlantic Race

    This is correct. We made a run at it but just didn’t have enough time. Sucks we had to pull the plug as we felt the forecast would have been favorable to us.  The Hall rig goes in tomorrow, we go sailing in a week and a half and figure out what’s next.

    It did, yes. Our forestay hanger failed in 20-25 kts, 50 TWA, J3 with the first reef in the main.  Rig fell straight back, no one hurt thankfully.
