Boating Videos - Aviva Damage - Dee Caffari Video

A loud bang was heard amongst the carbon groans and crashes into walls of water and rig jarring shakes that I was getting used to.

I shone my torch around the deck and saw that the staysail was at a strange angle and thought the tack line had blown. A simple repair, but a pain of a job. Unfortunately as I bore away to reduce the load on the staysail I saw what had really happened. The tack fitting had blown and as the line was released it ripped the spinlock jammer clean off the deck!
