        @BBCBreaking @Paddy_McKeanEFC you would need to question the decision makers who let this go ahead given the conditions.

        @BBCBreaking Are you sure about the figures? 20 x 2 man dinghies = 40 people. Where have other 60 come from? Doubtful 60 fell out!

        @BBCBreaking I'm assuming the organisers of this event had access to weather forecasts. So why on earth did they proceed with the event?

        @BBCBreaking Is this the GP14 World Championships? If so then these sailors are some of the best in the world.
