Atalanti sailing was one of the two dominant sailing teams in the golden age of offshore sailing, from the mid eighties to the aughts. <\/p>\n<p>This spinnaker on Meliti II: ran aground, almost effected a helicopter SAR operation of the Hellenic Coast Guard after its EPIRB emergency beacon accidentally jettisoned, broke the boat, broke the race record, and won the Round the Aegean race. Meliti is now decommissioned waiting for new adventures. Till then this spinnaker was retired so snippets of the mayhem it was involved in can be shared. Enjoy the sea.<\/p>\n<p><!--AddtoAny scripts --><br \/>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/svg\/icons.29.svg.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/addtoany.min.js?ver=1.1\" id=\"addtoany-js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!--AddtoAny scripts --><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: -80px;\"><div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/saltystories\/431-breaking-the-boat-to-breaking-the-record\/\" data-a2a-title=\"431\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsaltybag.com%2Fel%2Fsaltystories%2F431-breaking-the-boat-to-breaking-the-record%2F&amp;linkname=431\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsaltybag.com%2Fel%2Fsaltystories%2F431-breaking-the-boat-to-breaking-the-record%2F&amp;linkname=431\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_email\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsaltybag.com%2Fel%2Fsaltystories%2F431-breaking-the-boat-to-breaking-the-record%2F&amp;linkname=431\" title=\"Email\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking the boat to breaking the record<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories\/5012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/stories"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories\/5012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8124,"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories\/5012\/revisions\/8124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltybag.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
