Guest Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I have just had a call from Crusader, they have had to pull out the race with damage, and are returning to Opua. The boat is stable and they have no concerns about getting there. Their ETA is early hours of tomorrow. Sally Link to post Share on other sites
