The 100' supermaxi RAMBLER has capsized in the Fastnet Race, all crew are safe...

wow, just WOW...

Lucky that keel bulb didn't fall off in the Transatlantic Race in which they were just first to finish, might have been a whole different story...

She was originally launched as SPEEDBOAT a few years ago, some of you may have seen her in Newport... Then re-branded as VIRGIN MONEY, for Richard Branson's transatlantic record attempt a couple of years ago...

Can't even begin to imagine being aboard something like that, and having it go turtle... Truly miraculous, that all 21 crew were rescued, probably lucky it happened before dark...
