So many things went wrong here!
I also don't understand Why so many modern sailors wear black clothing that is difficult to see, and they don't keep themselves tethered during bad weather. People really feel invincible

Even if the other yachts spotted Rambler, getting them off and aboard would have been hazardous, much better the lifeboat. It was Baltimore life boat the Hilda Jarret, a 47ft Tyne class boat. The RNLI are crewed by volunteers, coxswain was Kieran Cotter, and I think I saw Ronnie there, all great Seamen out of the original Baltimore.

I’m a retired commercial fisherman with AMSEA training and I found some of these safety tips invaluable. Thanks for sharing!

worse thing to happen to ocean going blue water sailboats is the racing design influence along with the racing attitude.

An hour and a half to receive Mayday in this major event seems unbelievable.

Nowadays, many ocean racers wear black clothes and safety gear. Who can rescue them? Obviously, they don't care about their own lives

A word from the seakayaking community (I lived near Baltimore and have been out to Fastnet several times): 90% of sea kayaks are yellow or orange. Your personal waterproof VHF belongs fully-charged on a lanyard in your PFD (lifejacket) pocket. Carry a personal EPIRB. Keep at least two flares (smoke and handheld) plus a strobe on your person. Wear a dry (immersion) suit if going offshore, even in summer. Declare that Mayday when things go wrong, not when you can no longer cope.

The NZ Coastguard encourages booties to place reflective tape on the boats bottom. Wonderful for night searches

A previous keel loss on a maxi racing yacht, happened back in the 80's. The Fastnet was being used as a shakedown prior to the Whitbread round the world race. Yacht's name was Drum.
