Gavin and Roger and Black Gold are spending the night at Fishguard after engine problems put them out of today's race.
They were unable to find the cause of the engine failure, and motored towards Wales with the emergency outboard. After they reported into Race HQ, the Fishguard lifeboat came out to them, and towed them in.
The failure of the brand new engine was a double blow to Gavin as Black Gold was lying fourth in the fleet.
Gavin and Roger are staying at the Hope and Anchor Inn, Fishguard, for the night. The engine was repaired tonight and they will cruise to Scotland tomorrow to catch up with the race at Oban.
Latest details are on Gavin's rib racers website, www.rib-racers.com
