| Telefonica gone and all the latest sailing news |
 |
Welcome to this edition of Sail-World.com's UK newsletter. The big news is that Team Telefonica has broken both rudders falling off a wave, just 300 miles from the Lorient finish line and the skipper has conceded that they now have no chance of winning the race overall. Speaking from onboard the former Volvo Ocean Race leader, crew member Pepe Ribes said they were hit by a wave and Chinese gybed. The incident cost the Spanish entry dearly and their chances of winning the 2011/12 edition vanished in two minutes. More news as it comes to hand. Ian Williams (Team GAC Pindar) has retained his number one ISAF Match Race ranking - yet again.
