March 29, 2008 - Photos by Thierry Martinez
Lorient, France - AT 11:30 this morning, in 20 plus knots and a lumpy Atlantic swell, the 60ft trimaran Foncia capsized off Lorient, France with Alinghi sailors onboard. Of the 10 crew onboard, Piet van Niekerk and Francesco Rapetti were airlifted to hospital, both are safe and with no serious injuries. The rest of the crew, along with helmsman Ed Baird and consultant Alain Gautier, were involved in securing the boat and towing it upside down ashore, where it will be craned out and assessed for damage. The capsize occurred when the team was bearing away and buried the leeward and the central bows. -- Complete story
