Greg just called (Skype) and says Jacques is doing OK.

He says a squall hit as 18 of the 20 boats were going to the gate. The two that had rounded did not capsize. the rest did (18 out of 20 went over!). He says they saw the line coming and doused the chute. Just a wall of wind. It had been blowing about 25 already.

There were people through mains, broken booms, poles and masts. He says they chipped the bows on rocks on the bottom of the lake when they stuffed.
