Sailors found
The bodies of two men, believer to be victims of the Fastnet yacht-race disaster two weeks ago have been recovered by trawlers at sea off Ireland’s southern coast and south-west England. The men were believed to be two yachtsmen missing from the Um British trimaran Buck’s Fizz during the two-day storm that savaged a fleet of yachts in the international race. Seventeen sailors died in the storm. A score of boats were sunk or damaged. Buck's Fizz was not competing in the Admirals Cup race, but was following the other yachts. — London.
