Man Overboard

[Danny_Labrador]

News this morning - radio - something about man swept off yacht in transit between Isle Wight and France - spent 10 minutes in water before being bought back on board. All due to very high winds in area.

Any have more details ?

It was during the RORC De Guigand Bowl race from Cowes-Cherbourg. As well as the MOB where the Aurora was involved until the yacht managed to get the crew member back on board, one yacht was dismasted, a few minor injuries in the fleet and other yachts not racing had called for assistance. All sounded a bit scary.
