Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Official word on exodus and Lucifer from Zoe Just had word that Lucifer, the 8m trimaran has flipped coming up to Cape Brett. Devastating thing to happen so close to Russell, but all crew are fine. Exodus has also been reported to have suffered some damage with a broken mast - they are currently being towed by a customs vessel to deep water cove. Sounds windy out there, be careful kids!

Zoe 8 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sounds like it's going well for most and not so good for others. Hannah Morris took over from me on the Coastal website at 2pm. An emerging sailing journalist! Watch out for her in the future. I'll be back later. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Domino 11 @1800 past Sail Rock, over half way, 8.5kn average in 35-40kn. All crew fed and watered, seen a couple of spinnakers turn into hankies. Lumpy seas but a great sail -Wahooooo Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Photos of the start from North Head will be there soon, just cutting 'em down to size and will flick 'em off to Squid. Can I make a suggestion that the photos are added to a new thread? With all the drama going on on the race course, photos tend to slow down the page loading. Since this is the best place for the updates ... Not likely to get much coverage in the mainstream media, breaking the record doesn't really compete with the death of a dictator, containership and a certain rugby world cup.
