Incidents

Tragic Loss of Life - Gerry Roufs

The yacht Groupe LG 2[4] and it Canadian sailor Gerry Roufs were lost in the Southern Ocean; his body was never found, but his boat was found five months later off the Chilean Coast.[5][6][7]

Retirement Causes

Heavy weather took a serious toll on the sailors in the far Southern Ocean.

Unofficial competitor Raphaël Dinelli's boat capsized, and he was rescued by Pete Goss.[8][9] Then, within a few hours of each other, two other boats capsized, with both rescues performed by the Royal Australian Navy.[10]

Pete Goss was later awarded the Légion d'honneur for his rescue of Dinelli.[9] The capsize of several boats in this race prompted tightening up of the safety rules for entrants, particularly regarding boat safety and stability.[11]
