Rambler 100 capsized in the Irish sea after rounding the fastnet rock. Everyone has been rescued.
This was unexpected in the conditions which were relatively mild. Rambler a very powerful but lightly built boat.boat.Sailing her has always been about slowing down appropriately as conditions warranted.
Banque Populaire finished the race in 32 hours and 48 minutes setting a new record. Snow Lion is about 30 miles from Fastnet Rock. Click here for the tracker.
I could have sworn there was more to Speedboat’s ballast package than we see in the photo of her in turtled mode…
Cheers, de
Good news that no one was lost. Scary stuff. Bill
