Drama on and off the water
In the morning, the frenzy of racing came to a head in more ways than one when two boats collided. Crosshaven lifeboat was launched and the Civil Defence was also on hand with a medical team but, luckily, none was needed and the only injury was to sailing hardware and sailors’ pride.
It wasn’t the only close encounter on the tight Olympic and Trapezoid courses but the only one to involve physical contact.
