Captain’s log, Tanguy de Lamotte: "I hit very violently a UFO"


 

At 2am UTC, I hit very violently a UFO. My drift port is damaged to the point that I cannot take it out the case. I tried to move it but without any success. For the moment I do not know what to do.

In addition, my damaged rudder is now broken. So I have a half rudder to starboard and a half drift to port.

There is also water in the boat. I don’t move at a very high speed at the moment and it allows me to remove quickly the water and protect my electrical equipment. The situation is under control, but it is imperative that I find a solution to remove my drift and then plug the hole.

I continue my way to Les Sables at the moment and I think even losing a drift I’ll be able to make it. I have resin onboard and I should be able to make the repairs.
