We broke Bumpercar :(

Sailing in 8 to 10 knot winds. Unfortunately while under sail the small piece of line that attaches the shackle to the block on the main halyard broke and the main sail came down.

Holly Vipond - When the weak link breaks and the main sail comes down… imagine how much this little loop has endured before breaking though!
