As promised, here’s the aftermath of a Very Bad Day Sailing:
“When leading the racing off Southend in May of that year [1909], the mast snapped off at the keelson and drove down through the hull of the yacht. Brynhild sunk within six minutes, and the 22 man crew and 6 guests were rescued by Shamrock and White Heather which were also taking part in the race from Harwich to Southend.” (source)
