Ruby Tuesday
Ouch
Last week in the Niagara Cup Regatta,
Ruby Tuesday was dis-masted.
I am relaying information kind of second-hand so bear with me.
Apparently is was blowing about 30 knots when they abandoned racing for the day. On the way in to safe harbour the starboard inner shroud broke and the mast snapped at the spreaders. They managed to get everything cut loose and nobody was injured. That's the good news.
The mast, backstay, runners, forestay, blocks and mainsail were lost. The boom was saved.
Chris is working on getting the required parts but it's not inexpensive and it's going to take time.
All hands on deck to help Chris and his crew to put the boat back together, mmkay?
