Broken boats and Broken dreams...

Race 3:

Nev didn't even get to the start-line before Mr Percival had a rudder stock tear off the back off, meaning he would miss the entire days racing. Big Russ would wave the flag for the SA team coming in mid field. As for Depth Charge, the starboard hull was taking on more water than the Titanic with the leak getting worse. A poor start and a blown traveller car would see Depth Charge limp home in last position.

Race 4:

Russ again would be the flag waver for the 'heaps good' state, with the race starting immediately after the conclusion of Race 3. No repair times and a fast filling hull meant Depth Charge was as docile as the skipper. With a damaged boat and the wind picking up, Depth Charge would retire from the Race.
