Practice in Key West

We have been in Key West for 4 days now sailing on the chartered TP 52 Origin.
We had 2 days of very good practice getting our boat handling down and working on our boat speed. The last 2 days however have been frustrating. Yesterday was about 22 knots and we pulled part of the track off the mast that is used for the main cunno. We came in and got that sorted and were promised another good day of breeze today. However damage again today took us out prematurely. This time the main started pulling out a little at the top of the mast at one of the full battens. Upon checking the track after we got in, we found the track to be cracked and in need of repair. Ollie and Thomas have fixed it after a few trips up the rig. The racing will start tomorrow with still a good breeze forecast. We are excited to get out there and race. There will be 8 52s racing and it looks like we will have some good competition. Stay tuned for a report tomorrow.
