    luckily the crew is okay. It is impressive to see how calm or better how professional the crew was handling the situation. Setting the urgency call, getting the stuff out of the water, and all of that without great nervousness (at least not shown) bcs everybody knew his/her role in this situation! wishing them the best

    Kudos Kevin. A truly seasoned seaman, genuinely nice person and hardened professional : as seen in the face of adversity. After his PRB Imoca folded and sank under him at the last Vendee Globe and ensuing epic rescue, this is probably not lower on the adrenalin scale but as he says, its all about focus teamwork and staying in the race and.., in the lead! Bonne chance pour le depart le 20 mai!

    This is shocking - and I am incredibly glad that all the crew are alright, which is the most important aspect.
    Regarding the material failure: They happen. Of course there should be an analysis and research into what caused it and how it can be approved, but I believe that we can summarize that this was truly, for the most part, tough luck.
    Also, an incredible compliment to all the sailors: I know from my own experience how easily frayed the nerves can be in stressful situations - the way they are keeping it together, coordinating, communicating, and managing to brave a hazardous situation is a remarkable lesson for anyone.

    Sods law that this happened at night, sure didn’t make sorting the mess any easier.
    They obviously did a great job of protecting the hull from being holed by the fallen rig by getting rid of it really quickly.
    What a nightmare, well done guys and wishing all a safe passage to a port with facilities to do the repairs.

    Kevin said they saved the J2, and a lot of rigging. I can't tell if they were able to save the main. It is not easy pulling a main off a broken rig laying in the water. Looks like the head stay broke just above the roller furler.

  • @52Tenor
    @52Tenor Рік тому +1

    Good to see this. I remember a dismasting in Southern Ocean some 20-25 yers ago, Team SEB. They were able to do a jury rig that made it possible to get forward. Perhaps jury rigging is more difficult on Imocas than on those ships. They sailed to Usahia for repairs. Guess Holcim PRB is better positioned. Not too far to Rio.

    Such a tragedy can befall even the best prepared but it’s great to know that the crew are all safe, the vessel is still floating and the rescue plan is already being formulated and hopefully sail to Newport to rejoin for the next leg.
    The reason for the failure won’t be known for a while, however the professionalism of the crew was outstanding and I truly commend all persons onboard for the calmness displayed including the even tone of voice when transmitting the Pan Call.
    Stay safe and we all wish you a speedy repair which we shall be eagerly following as well as the race. 👏👏🙏🙏💪💪👍👍🤩🤩

    However I am shocked by the lack of redundancy these boats apparently have with regards to component failure. Off course we don't know exactly what happened but apparently the forestay broke in calm weather, causing the mast to fall aft. No halyard to take the load? Do they use halyard locks for the genoa on these boats?
    Also no inner forestay nor a code 0 halyard rigged?
