04-05-2008 17:37:25 Letter from Frank Savage owner of S/Y Lolita I want to publicly thank Antigua Rigging for enabling LOLITA to resume the regatta after the unfortunate collision between LOLITA and SOJANA on Tuesday April 28. Stan Pearson, President of Antigua Rigging,was at the dock when we returned. He determined that it was unsafe to sail with the bent V1,Dash 60 and worked with our helmsman, Phil Garland of Hall Spars to examine the rig. Luckily, Antigua Rigging had the necessary parts in stock and assisted by our crew worked feverishly to disassemble and replace the rigging. The fact that LOLITA could race again after sustaining an impact that could have dismasted her is also a testament to the durablility and sea worthiness of SWAN and the strength of the Hall rig. more info
