Must stop in Wellington: "Hugo Boss"

It almost looked as if the phase of constant breakages and problem reports from the participants on board was finally over, the duo Alex Thomson / Andrew Cape, who sailed excellently in second place, wiped it out.

"Our rudders are unreliable, sometimes suddenly popping up so we lose control of the boat," Thomson emailed today. "The problem has been around for a few weeks now, but it's getting worse and it's not funny to jibe at 28 knots. That can easily cost the rig." The oars are designed in such a way that they fold up by a protective mechanism in the event of a collision with a floating obstacle. This seems to be defective, so that it suddenly triggers even with a very low resistance. "Capey and I have been sitting below deck for days and at every noise or sudden boat movement we think: Oh no, it will happen again! That's why we decided to stop."If your stop is penalized with a 48-hour penalty with the use of outside help, the two should lose a good 600 to 800 miles on the leading boat "Paprec-Virbac 2" - a preliminary decision, because then the French-Irish duo can take their boat save."We will then immediately eliminate the generator problems that have been making life difficult for us for weeks and repair the second autopilot that has failed."In Wellington, shortly after "Hugo Boss", the crew of "Temenos 2" also wants to make a stop because of keel problems.
