Spinnaker ported company with the halyard. Huge problem as the sock was now acting like a sea anchor and the hole thing was wrapped under the hull (prop/keel). We eventually got it back on board - but it will be the last we see of it on this trip as it is headed to the sail loft for repairs. These things, though rare, always happen in the middle of the night - this one 2am local.
