Our RIG SNAPPED! Hundreds of miles from land [RED SEAS]

Support our boat refit: www.red-seas.com/refit

We are sailing from Tonga to New Zealand during cyclone season and the weather is starting to get worse. We have been motor sailing for a week and when the winds finally arrive, we raise our sails but almost immediately discover a problem - a fault in our rig snaps, and we have to act fast to make a temporary fix before the swells pick up and the storm arrives.

We are getting further south and closer to our destination of New Zealand but can we hold on for the last few days of this passage without anything else breaking or going wrong? We'll do our best!

📖 Our Story 📖
We're Iain and Brioni [The Reds] a couple of redheaded Scots who sold everything we own and moved halfway round the world to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We live in search of the most remote places to live and sail so hit subscribe and join us on this adventure!
