The wind was a bit stronger this time, and unfortunately we managed to break the boat about 20 minutes into the race: The belaying pin holding the peak halyard snapped, causing half the mainsail to flog and causing a fair bit of panic while all the sails were dropped. We were forced to retire from the race and return to port.
There was a professional photograher about, taking pictures of these very impressive boats.
That's us on Thelma in the foreground, just before the start.
