AUS31 needs a nose job




I must have accidentally laminated a black cat into AUS31 as I seem to be having some bad luck:
I broke the rudder right on the start of race one on Saturday (no kidding, it was on the start gun), even worse is that I was in a great position so I ploughed at near full speed into a fireball underneath me. His boat is holed, my boats bow is open and I have no rudder.

So tonight I'll give it a really good clean and work out how we do the rhinoplasty on the bow, meantime the rudder goes back to the workshop to have a stainless steel pin put through it (Insurance will probably have to handle the damage to the Fireball....)

Back to the shed.....
