Virgin Money has to abandon record attempt
Virgin Money had to abandon her attempt to break the Atlantic sailing record. The ex-speedboat maxi faced huge waved, sailed trough storms but had to declare defeat when a huge monster wave shred the Spinnaker, washed a ten man life boat overboard and ripped a huge gash in the mainsail.
However, the team is very confident they’ll be back. “Virgin Money will soon be fighting fit and ready to take on the Atlantic again in the very near future”, sir Richard Branson declared. “You learn to respect the awesome power of this ocean and to admit when she has you beat. But I truly believe that next time Virgin Money will set a new world record that will secure its place in the record books for many years to come.”
His two children (Holly and Sam) have announced they want to be there on the next attempt as well!
