Sailor dies in rough seas during California race, Mar 09, 2013

"SAN DIEGO, Calif. — One sailor died and five others were rescued after abandoning a racing boat that lost its steering capability and drifted to an island off southern California, where it was broken apart by crashing waves. The crew issued a mayday call Friday night after the nine-metre sailboat’s rudder failed and the craft began drifting toward the rocky shore of San Clemente Island, said the U.S. Coast Guard. The crew declined assistance from the coast guard and requested a towboat. However, 2.5-metre swells and strong winds kept that boat from reaching them. An organizer of the Islands Race says the crew encountered more bad luck when attempts to deploy a life-raft and anchor the boat failed. © Copyright (c) The Province"
