For any of those reading Team Seacats, I'm sorry for leaving you hanging for over an hour and a half...Cat in the Hat are fine - they're mast is broken, the rigging twisted, and the mainsail is toast...but they made a herculean effort to clear away the broken rigging and with the help of Daryl and one of the Mooseburd sailors (I believe Burd...sorry I didn't see exactly which), they marched the boat a mile up the beach in the water and across the finish line. We drove the Team Seacats truck with trailer down the beach to pick up the pieces and spent the last hour or so bringing them back.

They have been offered the spare mast from the Cat Fever team and any rigging from Team Seacats that they may possibly need. I don't believe there was a single team that didn't offer up parts to get them back on the water...they'll be on the line tomorrow with the goal to hit the finish lines for every stop up the coast for the first time (this is their 3rd year)
