Race 3 - Day 17
Skipper Report
17 November

Early this morning we were overtaken by a front. The wind has come round to south west and eased right off. This has given us the time to effect the recommended backup lashing to share the load of the forestay between its original deck fitting and the fitting that normally takes the load from the bob-stay. This action has been advised while further investigations continue on the bottom forestay shackles around the fleet. On inspection ours seems ok, but best to be sure.

Starboard Watch have been working very hard at this and are soon to be rewarded with a spinnaker flying and some lunch. Happy sailing.
