Yes. I did a bit of work on the boat and had a few chats with the skipper about "Southern Ocean !" sailing and strategy around the horn etc.. Hell of a nice guy.https://m.facebook.com/MichaelDaveyGGR/posts/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0
Like the GGR or not, this is a very sad end of a dream. The boat certainly was done up rather nicely:

A Tashiba 36 from 1986.I have sailed with Guy DeBoer, one of the American skippers. He's a gem of a guy and I hope that he not only makes it around but does so in winning fashion.
Helps that he's running a @Bob Perrydesign!
Thank you for the lines of the canoe stern,Guy's Tashiba 36 is probably the best of all those style double enders I have done. It was the last one I did in that style. It's quite quick
Maybe you'd like to see the hull lines. Guy has modified the stock rig and now has a double spreader rig. A good move for this race.
