I don’t the back-story here but just got these photos from Carlo Borlenghi. Le Niourlarque as it’s known, is notorious for being a crowded, short course designed so that spectators can see the beauty of these classic yachts up close.
Clearly from these photos it lived up to its perilous reputation. Does anyone know what happened and how the crew is?
Wow! You want to think it is a photoshop picture. But I don’t think it is. How unfortunate for those involved.
I was a menber of the crew, fortunately nobody was injured.
we were 5 on board, 4 men and a women, when the crash arrived the women jumped in the water to avoid the boat, two fell in the sea, me and another member stay on board.
we have been very lucky.
We were 100% in our rights which has been confirmed by the race commettee.
Wow! That must have been so scary. I’m glad to hear that there were no fatalities.
