• The number of injuries on shore beat the number of injuries at sea. Dave Sherman for his face plant on the road to St. George’s.  Did so well on the single handed leg!
• Pogo Loco was leading his class when something hit them and broke off one of their rudders but they still finished.  Philippe
• USA-415 did one better and broke off one dagger board, one rudder and the remaining rudder was wobbling from wear.  Jay Sharkey
