Well it seems that Team Abu Dhabi has some down time. About 5 hours into the start of the race, the VO 70 made to supposedly race safely around the world, experienced mast failure. Quite amazing really how quickly it all can change. Some pretty brave guys to jump into that cold water at night just to salvage what they can. Must have been a pretty big wave!

Have a look, post a comment.
