Corby 30 "Spirit" retires to Galway with broken mast

“Spirit”, a 30’ Dutch entry to the Round Britain and Ireland Race, has had to pull into Galway having lost her mast. Richard Versteegh & Jac Sandberg’s Corby looks A1, apart from the spinnaker pole where her mast should be. They limped into Galway Harbour over the weekend under jury rig. We wish them well and hope a replacement gets to them asap. If you see the boys knocking around the town, buy them an ice-cream…
