Daikin Airco loses rudder again

16 mei 2007

At the moment, Daikin Airco of Frans van der Heijden is being towed by Holmatro, skippered by Sander Speet. The new Ker 11.3 lost her rudder earlier this morning. It is not the first time that this happens to the Dutch crew. Last year, the unfortunate sailors had the same problem with their Sinergia 40, for which they received a special 'bad luck' award from the Royal Netherlands Sailing Federation. All crew members are safe and the two yachts are close to the English coast.
