We're in the slow yacht class - "Salmon".


Different
priorities around here, these racers don't want to spend any more
money that the absolutely have to.

Nor does my skipper! The boat's insured, so the repair and replacement

should be covered.

I don't think these guys are worried about losing rigs so much as damaging
sails, if you start turning in claims for sails it's only a matter of time
before they start raising your premiums. OTOH, some of these guys might just
be scared , especially in the case of the Mills Race.
