We had major issues with our main head board. IE: We couldn't use the main.
Plans were to leave early am and motor the 50 miles around Guadeloupe to the North Sails Main Caribbean location in Pointe A Pitre. Just as we were getting ready to round the end of the island, a sat phone call came in and we were told that loft is too busy and wouldn't get to our problem for a week, but the satellite loft in Le Saints may be able to help.
To make a long story short, we headed to Le Saintes, pulled up a mooring at noon, had the North Sails rep on board by 2:30, main sail off the boat by 3:30 and it's return promised at 9am tomorrow!
Up date: the sail was returned, as promised at 9AM and it was a good emergency repair. May even last us another trip north with the head sail track replacement made in Antigua.
