Hi All

Not something you normally see, but passed a Spitfire that had broken one of its beams. Racing on a Farr 40 at Cowes Week so this was in The Solent. The 2 hulls looked to be fine as they were floating above the water with no obvious damage to them. Guys were OK and in the process of being helped by a rescue boat. Big job dismantling the boat to be towed in. Weather wasn't that bad being 15-20 knots and waves fairly flat. Can only postulate that the dolphin striker broke, or the beam failed.

Cheers
