Boatworks 23 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 From RAYC "Just a quick heads up. Miss Scarlet notified Maritime Operations Center at 0745 that they have broken their forestay. NOK have been advised. Their intention is to continue to Fiji. More to follow." Also "Itchy Feet has been in email contact with their NOK. All is well, they are in rough weather and will continue their course for another day, and as we suspected point their bow at Fiji after the front. More to follow."
