Thank you to the SO's of Erik Andreaa and Capt Glenn Shephard, as well as Malvina for getting this amazing footage for us! When we were invited to race on a Volvo Ocean 70 for the Halicarnassus Cup in Turkiye, we knew we would be in for a day of adventure. What we did not expect was for the spinnaker to blow on us as we were cruising downwind at 15 knots! It's a good thing our crew jumped into action right away, and we were all able to work together ro get it under control.
A Sunday afternoon sail turn into a whole world of hurt for the skipper on Go To Red. What was supposed to be a routine gybe turned in the a massive wipe out for the skipper as the main sheet picked him up and deposited him the leeward side of the boat with a massive thud. Some bruised ribs and an even bigger dint to his ego was the only damage, it was not too bad as he was fitting fit for racing the following weekend. The team at GTR Racing will not miss the runners on their Mumm 36 when they make the switch to a J109 next summer.
