Freedom GBE 27 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Freedom is staying chained up for the weekend. I feel like a woosy scardycat. The wind seems to be stronger than the forecasts lately or I am getting softer and the boat is now slightly more powered up. Good luck to the hard out sailors out there.

raz88 96 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 There's talk on Facebook of a cat having flipped just south of tiri. On the race tracker attitude is shown sitting there not moving, so I guess it's likely to be them. Facebook says coast guard in attendance, hopefully they're ok and not too much damage.
