Gareth Baxter and Tim Gibbons (both class of 2008)recently delivered a Fast 42(Nemesis) back to CT after the Rio race. With 1620nm to go to CT,and after bare poling a 60 knot gale with huge waves,the yacht lost its rudder. Anyone who knows these yachts will know its virtually impossible to sail the boat without a rudder. See how they resolved the problem, using bed boards,spinnaker pole and rope, and brought Nemesis safely home :
Well done to Gareth,Tim & crew, Dabbies rule.
