Having lasted 5 hours and mainly in darkness, the re-stepping of the luxury yacht M5’s impressive 89m mast, managed by Marine Results, took place at Pendennis on last Saturday, October 19, 2013. Over the next few days, her full carbon fibre and titanium rig will be put in place, using the same optical fibre technology installed on the America’s Cup catamarans.
The Falmouth Regatta will be finally attended only by the four J-Class superyachts and not the six as expected, without the presence of the sailing yacht Hanuman as well as the charter yacht Endeavour. The latter is supposed to race only in the Solent regattas.
