A good start in HBCS Coastal Classic for`Frenzy' ended prematurely, at the first corner, when she lost her mast.

Paul Gilbert / www.aquapx.com caught the action. Burying the bow the big kite pulled the rig out of her, ending a great start to what could be a record breaking race in this year's HSBC Coastal Classic 119nm sprint to Russell in the Bay of Islands
