Boris J2 Hook Has Broken - Day 61 - Vendée Globe
This week has truly been a roller coaster. This morning, Boris Herrmann, currently racing in 6th position in the Vendée Globe, reported to his team that the J2 hook has broken. While both Boris and the boat are safe, this setback means more repairs and the loss of valuable miles. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a swift and successful repair!
