One Ton Cup 1990 - Part 2

A previous article has covered the outcome of the 1990 One Ton Cup here. A reader of this blog, Andre B, has kindly sent me copies of the photos he took of the yachts that competed in that regatta. This included some photos of significant rig damage incurred during the windy short offshore race where six yachts lost their rigs and their hopes of a better placing in the series.
