Sailing : DELTA LLOYD LEG THREE DAY 7 QFB:

received 19.12.08 1356 GMT

Hi all,

Today was the day after the night before. Everybody took the chance to get some rest after a busy night. Boat-captain Ed O'Conner and bowman Gerd-Jan Poortman worked all night to stabilise the keel-structure. Today we are still sailing with 10-11 knots with the J4 and a reef in the main. The crew is disappointed but also glad that everybody is safe. We are still racing and we keep a on the keel every 20 minutes to make sure the situation stays stable. It was a scary situation but now everything is under control.

Cheers
