Lesson 25-2 TheCutty Sark
In August, she wasstruck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The CuttySark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. Atemporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was fitted withgreat difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was adanger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away aswell. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing theEquator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, but bynow the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudderwas fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win.She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable,considering that she had had so many delays. There is no doubt that if she hadnot lost her rudder she would have won the race easily.
