This made me very sad. The trimaran Tryst returned from the first day of the Heineken Regatta dismasted.
We noticed them painting the boat and mast at Island Water World shortly before the regatta. Tryst was looking good.
The week before the race, the guys would come out every day to work on the boat and go out training.
I don't know them, but they seem to be enjoying themselves and putting a lot of effort into participating in the 2008 Heineken Regatta and then to be dismasted on the first day... très triste.
