Onboard Gitana Eighty - Loïck Peyron

"So hello everybody!  We're in the south. Already some damage on board of Gitana 80.  We've been in some trouble.  The gennaker has been in the water.  There's a halyard broken.  There's a tack broken as well.  I've broken a pole as well.  So I'll tinker a bit with it.  I've got a little sleeve here which is theoretically used as spare spar [...] I'll put the two bits together, and hopefully this should work. Otherwise, the weather's very nice outside, I'll show you.... It slides well, it's a beautiful day and everything goes well. Le Petit Jojo [Sebastien Josse] is going fast upfront, but it's OK.  Got to find the rhythm..."
