Capsized yacht righted after day-long struggle

A SALVAGE crew righted the stricken super yacht Rambler 100 last night after a painstaking, day-long operation off the south coast.

The €18 million vessel, which capsized on Monday during the Fastnet race, was finally rolled back onto its hull on the fifth attempt, just before 8pm.

The deck was a mass of tangled ropes and sailing bags. Its giant mast and rigging had earlier been cut away after divers retrieved some of the crew’s personal belongings and passports from the upturned boat.
