UK takes some Gib Damage (looks like a Carbon Fibre baton again) - Decides to Quickly Repair

1 min read

The UK have just taken some damage to their Gib. Just like Luna Rossa in the first race, a carbon fibre baton seems to have impacted the INEOS Gib.

They are going to attempt, as Luna Rossa did in the first race, to make a running repair.

INEOS Britannia have completed some re-work of the Gib, appearing to modify the Gib and retention the sail  - at this stage work appears completed. We have just taken a further delay in the start - although Luna Rossa was disqualified for a quick fix which went over time, the Brits have managed to make a repair and be ready for the race to start.
