Read Richard's reports on the event on Sail-World.com.
Back in Australia to continue their training for the Flying Dutchman Worlds to be held in New Zealand in December, the pair had their spare mast stollen from outside the Woollahra Sailing Club in Sydney.

Any help in finding the mast would be appreciated.
