[status] Yesterday morning the main halyard chafed through at the masthead and the main came down, no major drama, we zipped it away, but then, we only had the furled genoa and with winds gusting to 33kn I was no game to unfurl it all the way. We are now going slower and not able to point less then 45º to the wind. We will have to motor perhaps a day to get into Minerva.
Another day we all want to forget, 140mile day.
