At approximately 02:00 UTC, February 12, 2024, Ronnie Simpson was dismasted on SV Shipyard Brewing, 50 feet, white hull, with blue trim and one person on board.

Ronnie is fine and not injured, but wind and waves make the situation quite critical.

SV is located approximately 650 nautical miles east-southeast of Buenos Aires. Ronnie is in contact with the coast guard. He activated one of his EPIRBs. He had been sailing east for days to get away from the worst of a storm that is expected to hit him in 24-36 hours.
