Jérémie Beyou (Delta Dore) talked this morning about the painful decision he wasfinally forced to take:
"The sea really did its work on the rigging, which had already been damaged. It would seem impossible to see her sailing again quickly and safely. The hardest part was when I discovered the damage three days ago: being forced to retire in a contest where I was doing well breaks my heart. The boat was sailing well and I was feeling great. I can assure you my boat was in perfect condition, and was well prepared, until this incident."
A heart-breaking decision
