British round the world yachtsman Tony Bullimore reported today that rigging problems aboard his 102ft catamaran Doha have forced him to slow right down while he effects repairs.
In a brief message relayed back to Team Bullimore's Press Office, Tony said that conditions were now light, and he was about to make repairs to the 112ft rig. "There is no cause for concern. Everything is under control." He assured his team.
Doha crossed into the Roaring Forty latitudes at 04:00 GMT today after Bullimore took the prudent decision yesterday, to get out of the way of the latest low pressure system centred in the mid 50 latitudes which was due to cross his path on May 9.
On an upbeat note, the yachtsman also said that he had just enjoyed a belting good curry "Hot enough to raise the roof of the Alexandra Palace."
