Woman overboard drowned

[Graham376]

Anyone know what happened? Two crew still on board also needed treatment which seems odd. Woman dies falling overboard from yacht off Isle of Wight coast (msn.com)

The pattern would seem odd if the problem was nautical. But if, for instance, CO poisoning or other medical matter, less so...

Theres a lot less mystery than it currently appears, but as the matter is heading for a full enquiry, those concerned would be grateful if wild speculation was kept to a minimum.

There but for the grace of God...

Sympathies to all concerned.

When the conclusions of the enquiry are known , I'd be grateful if a link could be posted, so we can see if there are lessons for the rest of us.

I’m happy to do that. I will add the details I know when it’s appropriate to do so.

Is there any generic information you can share - eg sailing yacht, dayboat or power yacht? whilst racing or cruising?

There was a lot of activity in the Solent at the weekend, including lots of racing

As I’ll almost certainly have to take part in the various enquiries, I think it’s best I do not feed any speculation, nor disclose anything that might influence others’ testimony. Sorry.

In that case you must remain quiet and nor say any more.
