Loick Peyron skippered Banque Poulaire to a new race record for the fastnet with a time of 32 hours and 48 minutes beating his old record by 8 hours. Rambler 100 (the ex Speedboat)lost it's keel and capsized. All crew were rescued. http://fastnet.rorc.org/blog/news-2011/race-updates-2011/index.html
