[Source: Green Dragon Team] The crew are all safe and are in contact with their shore team. At the time of the incident they were 1500 miles from Mauritius. The crew have assessed the damage to the boom and are working towards constructing a temporary boom in order to stay on track towards India. This involves the crew attempting to repair it with splints etc made from bunks and other pieces of the boat. This is a huge set back for the team, but they are confident that they have a strong boat and with lighter airs forecast for the rest of the leg, they are hoping that they may still be able to salvage some points on the leader board. At present they are heading downwind and maintaining 20 knots of boat speed, 37 miles from the current leader PUMA.  read more »
