After securing his mast, the skipper notified race control. During a satellite phone call with his team, he confirmed he was safe and requested no assistance. He is currently sailing downwind, waiting for the wind to shift to the east, which will allow him to sail using his undamaged starboard float for support.
Conditions are expected to improve within the next 12 hours. A full assessment of the damage will then be carried out, along with the options available to the skipper.
