We started the race and I think we did the up and then the down wind legs but the boat was feeling very sluggish so I opened the CB trunk port, only to find water up to the floor so we went in to drain. Once we got in, I found that we had got a hole in the hull about the diameter of a pen. A bit of duct tape and we were on our way to try to make it out for the next race.
