Cliff diverting to Hilo? Hard imagining his new North main had issues. But apparently so. FYI, this morning, 4/27, at 0600 RAINBOW was 1570 nm from Hilo making ~9 knots. Good speed. That's about 8 days to Hilo from current posit at an AWA of 90-110 degrees, his fastest point of sail. And no, an offshore cruising main's leech should not wipe the backstay even with reinforcement in the area. Someone miss measured IMO.
