MAPFRE report electrical problems; affecting the movement of the keel, and the boat’s navigation systems
A new MacGyver-style chapter for MAPFRE. On Sunday, the eighth day of sailing on this new leg from Itajaí to Newport, the Spanish boat informed of an electrical problem, which they had previously suffered in Itajaí two days before the start, and which had reappeared, “In the Boatyard they thought that it had been solved, but it obviously wasn’t,” in spite of swift action and replacing all the parts in Brazil.
