Double Ouch!!!!

Eyewitness Larry Rosenfeld, who was on board the ship as a navigator...
Sat next to Larry Rosenfield on a flight into Boston a couple of years ago and enjoyed talking to him. He had recently helped deliver Spirt of Bermuda as navigator. He had a few other world class interesting sailing stories. I was a bit awestruck.

Was there much damage done? I imagine that bowsprit would swept away a bit of standing rigging.

One good collision can ruin your whole day.
