Knox-Johnston forced back to port

Veteran British yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston has been forced to return to port after rolling his vessel 360 degrees during the Velux 5 Oceans race.
Knox-Johnston, on board Saga Insurance, had the incident in “boat-breaking” gale conditions off the coast of Spain.

“Rolled last night. Section of mast track bent. Can’t remove all the screws so sail stuck,” he said via e-mail.
