After taking all the necessary precautions and carrying out a series of checks, he realised there were cracks on the deck of the boat where the jockey pole meets the deck which it was first thought might affecting the structural integrity of the boat. But while there was some water ingress to start, Louis is reported to be making repairs.
Ed note: the jockey pole is a carbon strut which extends from the side of the boat to support the sheet at a wider angle, keeping it away from the boat and therefore keeping the powerful back of the sail at a more efficient angle
