From the TJV Website:
"Medivac by helicopter for injured Franck Proffit.
At approximately 1750 GMT tonight, the 60ft multihull Groupama-2, skippered by French sailors Franck Cammas and Franck Proffit, capsized in a sudden squall 40 miles to the North East of Palma, heading towards the Canary Islands. The prevailing conditions at the time were classic Trade wind 25 – 30 knots from the North East. The trimaran was sailing downwind and it is presumed that therefore the hull pitchpoled on capsize but this is not confirmed. What we do know is that Franck Proffit was at the helm and was thrown violently forward, and has possibly broken his ribs. A helicopter has been sent from the Canaries to the zone to pick up Franck Proffit from the boat in order to give him immediate medical assistance."

IMHO pitchpoling a 60ft trimaran at 25kts in the middle of the ocean is about as bad as it gets. Maybe ledsleds are not so bad after all. (Maybe they should wear a chickenwire or a seatbelt or somethn).
