The F18 in those shots is being skippered by current Tornado world champion Darren Bundock, there is one more photo in the series that shows them reattached to the boat. http://www.acay.com.au/~gonzo/pics_newcaledonia.html And on a post to the Aussie Taipan forum Darren explains that they sailed away from it! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taipan/message/1160
