"The Tide 28s being used for the record attempt have been modified and equipped
to bring them up to Ocean standards"

So according to the manufacture the "Boat" is not actually designed to sail
in the Ocean. A boat not designed for use in the water.........I'm not
nearly as experienced in sailing and boats as many here so please explain to
me how a boat works that is not originally designed to be put in the water.

It doesn't say much for the quality of the rigging if a halyard chaffed thru
in 2 weeks.

I thought it said cap shroud when I read it. That's standing rigging. Halyards are
running rigging. But it's worse having the standing rigging so flimsy it breaks that soon.
