Capsized

I went for a walk at Shustoke Reservoir this morning and the sailing club has resumed their weekly races. The wind was very strong so the sailors were not having an easy time and were tacking against the wind. Rounding the furthermost buoy the wind filled their sails and they picked up speed to fly across the water in front of me. For one unlucky chap though it was too much and he capsized and was thrown in to the icy water. Fortunately, the safety boat was close by and a few seconds later they were rushing in to offer him assistance.
