Gary,
I'm told that Simon hit something in the water. It ended his series rather dramatically.
Emile had the black stick but as Darryl pointed out earlier in this thread Emile didn't have time to get his sail cut for the new stiffer mast.
I'm sure Simon and Emile could give you more details.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
