Outgoing tide. Launched and got stuck between vessels realising boom luff zippers were wide open. Not a good start and didn't help getting to the Bar . Overpowered on the Bar. Managed to get one run, unhooked halfway then rehooked in hideous chop before discovering 6 inch tear in clew of sail. Called it quits rather than risk a few more runs and destroy sail. Floated, sank my sail and half sailed back to shore. Very Broad.
