The technical team have discussed the issue with their external designers and engineers and have elaborated a plan for the mast repair. The crack is 30 cm long and has ripped a vertical line in the top of the mast just above the first reef and where the fractional head sail would sit. The sailing crew were safe and immediately notified the shore team of the issue as co-skipper Rosalin Kuiper climbed up the mast to take photos of the damage in order to assess the situation. Today at approximately 12:00 pm UTC, as the boat was sailing in Leg 3 of The Ocean Race, Team Malizia's sailing crew noticed a crack to the top part of their mast.
