Sad day today. I was being a pratt on the run and capsized the Finn to windward. When I pulled the boat up the deck didn't like it much and gave way, so I've got a spilt king plank, one snapped deck beam and a knackered deck.
I suppose I'll be able to get to the mast step a bit easier now!
The deck was delaminating and appears very soft where it went so perhaps it was time for a new deck anyway.
