"Apparently full of Land Rovers."

Do you have a source for that please?

"Steering failure?"

Seems possible. 10 knots NNE at the time so not weather-related.

OK, thanks. Just a quip I think. I could have had some fun with it if true. https://www.facebook.com/john.corby.121

Sure there were no Volvo's aboard?

Edit: Zooming issue, navigator asleep, Brambles Bank in the wrong place, failure to use paper charts, crew fatigue, poor seamanship, it wouldn't have shown up on radar

What happened to the mast...?

What's the ROI of this one?

Where's Wouter when you need him?

[Hearsay] Suggestion that ballast system failed as the vessel heeled whilst making the turn round Brambles Bank and pilot deliberately put the vessel onto the bank rather than remain in deep water....[/Hearsay]

Hell of a way to treat a cricket pitch. Bet they don't have this problem at Lords.
