Most likely a repeat but I dont remember it.
Yacht leaves Cherbourge bound for Weymouth.
After 36 hours he gets tired/fed up and calls for the lifeboat.
Lifeboat puts him under tow at 8 knots but too fast and starts to sink him.
Yacht skipper calls for him to slow to 4 knots.
@ 5 knots the yacht still gushes with water through the outboard well.
43 hours later arrives Weymouth and between them they probably used more fuel than I would in 3 hours !
