German Fastnet Racer lost rudder
An RNLI lifeboat was launched on Aug 19, 2015, to assist the "Shakti" which was taking part in the Fastnet Race. The boat had lost her rudder about 47 nautical miles north west of the Isles of Scilly. A replacement rudder proved ineffective and the 13 crew on board the yacht had to be towed back to St Mary's harbour by the volunteer Crew of the "Osier".
