Pat Lawless has retired from the Golden Globe Race on Silvermines Hydro after a snapped forestay fitting and failed rudder-head fastenings left him without a secure repair. He is heading north, with the Cape Verde or Canary Islands as possible destinations. In the South Atlantic, a severe storm threatens the fleet from Sunday 25 October, and race management has asked the middle and northern entrants to stay north of 28°S.
