| Tiivistelmä: | The Fastnet is a race for oceangoing sailboats that is held biannually in the North Atlantic. In 1979, a severe storm hit the racers, producing winds in excess of 70 mph and waves over 30 feet high. During the storm, 24 yachts out of the 300 competing were abandoned by their crews, and 15 sailors lost their lives. The 39-foot British Admiral's Cup Team yacht Eclipse completed the race without any major mishaps. Its skipper and crew had never sailed their boat in such extreme conditions, yet they were able to combine their skills and experience with creativity to escape the awesome brutality of the storm. In fact, they completed the race first in their class and second overall. |
