Sadly had to retire 40nm from Fastnet Rock at 2130 Weds 15th Aug.
Rigging failure, stb side D2 has parted. Mast still up. Crew dissapointed but all OK. Motoring to Scilly Isles for repairs and fuel. Valiant effort by a wonderful crew in the toughest of conditions.
The picture on the left shows the track taken by Adelaide Star during the Rolex Fastnet race 2007.
