matt (22120km):
2384 days ago Sanctuary Point, NSW, AU Just picked up a 7.8 OD6 from Tony so had to try it, even though I probably should have rigged a 7.0, very stable when overpowered which was impressive but made for a hell of a ride on the jp78. The wind was building so i rigged the 7.0 and took out the 99carve but then during a tack? the mast broke at the join? so a nice swim until i was saved by Kato from the Pit crew and towed back, Thankyou again, i didnt know what to do and swimming had limited success( i'd probably still be there). Thanks Brendan for raising the alarm and i learned something my favourite way today, "the hard way", now i might have a chance if the unfortunate was to happen again.
