Now that's good news.... We'll perhaps have a little less 'nail-biting' episodes, wondering if one or other of the participants will end up inverted in an inappropriate ocean.

There were thrills and spills aplenty on the last 'outing', and a lot of remarkable seamanship, but keels falling off just should not happen these days.
