Lucky yachtsman recovered

Daibheid · 2014-04-05 16:33:55

90 minutes was a very long time in the water but yachts can take a lot of time to come about -particularly in heavy seas and especially if under spinnaker and the video shows how difficult it can be to get a casualty safely on board a high deck in rolling seas with them near incapacitated by hypothermia. Excellent job…

Excellent job overall by skipper and crew.
