Sailing Into Disaster: 303 Yachts and the Fastnet Tragedy
On August 11th, 1979, 303 yachts set sail, each with the same goal to finish and potentially win the Fastnet race. On the third day of a race, the shipping weather forecast warned the sailors about strong winds, but no one knew those winds were about to outgrow in a storm that would take 19 lives!
