It's amazing. Almost half have thrown in the towel.

What a bunch of wussies. Here you dont quit until your de-masted, or
sunk, why take the risk to race far offshore if your not ready for the
worst. They must all be sailing flimsey junk or they just can not meet
the challenge, or both.

I suspect most are rich spoiled weekend warriors that bit off a might
bit to much than they can chew and a rolling in vomit on the main cabin
soles. But I bet the crews are wearing spiffy matching sailor suits.

Bwahahahahahah
