Alex Thompson doesn't have much luck does he. Out of the Jacques Vabrethis time.

As I've said before, he just doesn't get the message that someone on high keeps sending him.

Damn unlucky - that's two races he's had collisions with floating objects in... got to feel for the guy.

Hit an unidentified floating object, eh? Anyone heard from that Aussie girl with the unconventional approach to collision avoidance recently?

she is still floating and enjoying herself heading for the equator

Have to feel sorry for Alex Thompson. He's had a very bad run of luck in his Open 60 career. But the last Barcelona World race he proved his potential by securing a 2nd. Twister Ken, you can't keep saying that. Mike Golding has been just as unlucky in losing keels and rigs. All these guys sail on the edge constantly. Breaking the boats is part of what they do.

I bet the insurance company cringes (or perhaps rubs its hands) when his premium is due, probably pays all their bonuses
