For Nathalie Criou and Nathan Bossett on Criou's Express 27 Elise, a broken forestay and a mast step pin that worked its way out of the hinge on the step on day four meant slowing way down until the pair gained confidence in their repairs.
"From a racing standpoint it was pretty disappointing because we were in second at the time," Criou said. "But from the standpoint of adventure it was really awesome."
