SV Gremalken did not sink as previously recorded - it was damaged but has been refurbished, a friend of mine now owns it.

[edit] Ship's names

The rescue ship HMS Angelsea should be spelled Anglesey; it was an island class ship named after the British island. Cf Navy News, 29.01.04, http://www.navynews.co.uk/articles/2004/0401/0004012901.asp

The Gremalkin should be spelled Grimalkin. It did not finish the race but was abandoned during the storm and towed ashore the next day. ReaderHez 09:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
