Captain’s log, J. Sanso: "40 cm missing from the rudder"


Hello to everyone from ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered!

Today has been a night with light and very shifty winds, but in the last few hours, I have been able to sail a good heading with good speed.

After gybing this morning, I saw that there were about 40 cm missing from the rudder.  The area which has broken is a kind of ‘crash area’ (additional piece) which serves to protect the area if there is a collision. So it has really done its job! The impact I suffered a few days ago was on the starboard rudder and it wasn’t until I gybed that I could see it, as the endoscope wasn’t able to.
 

Best wishes to all from Acciona
