Repairs already underway...
As the title states... repairs are already underway.
I'm just about to cut the beam open and see the real extent of the damage internally. Fingers crossed that it hasn't torn off the 'shear-web' inside. This is like an internal bulhead that runs the length of the beam to link up the tensions and compressions of the top and bottom surfaces of the beam when it is bending. If this is only damaged locally then we could repair it all relatively quickly... if not, like last time then it is a far bigger job.
We were out on speedspot from 1-2:30 AM this morning checking that the wing was OK in the spring high tides. It was a full moon and therefore quite a nice, quiet place to be (see pics). Now we are waiting for the tide to come back in so that we can get over there in the RIB and retrieve it all before the wind picks up.

STASHING THE FLAPS AND STOWING THE WING AS THI SPRING HIGH TIDE COMES IN AT 2:30 am ON SPEEDSPOT
For now... and bear with us here... we are going to go for the impossible and try and fix the boat by Tuesday and go sailing if the conditions are favourable. Of course it's a longshot... but that's our only shot and chance to turn this around. It gives us an objective and a challenge for our last remaining days.
Cheers, Paul

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso.
