Alan: Whenever I watch these monsters I close my eyes and imagine a fleet of them racing across Algoa Bay, who knows, maybe one day soon the owners and skippers will discover Algoa BAy and make it happen.

Incredible – the MOD 70 Spindrift capsizes whilst racing in Dublin, Dun Laoghaire. The boat capsized in 25 knots of wind after a severe gust during the Inshore Race of the Route des Princes. It is the first time a MOD70 has capsized since the launch of this One Design boat 2 years ago. Yann Guichard was at the helm of the boat when the accident occurred.
