A BOAT lost during a regatta mass capsize off the Gwynedd coast was recovered three days later.
-
The upturned dinghy was spotted by a beach visitor at Abersoch some 8km along the coast from the event's base at Plas Heli marina, Pwllheli.
A major rescue operation involving boats and a Coastguard helicopter was launched on Wednesday, April 16, when a “sudden squall” left boats capsized and scattered across Cardigan Bay.
They were being crewed by some 230 of the UK's top young sailors who were competing in the Royal Yacht Association's Youth Nationals.
The mass-capsize incident was said to have followed a “sudden and rapid weather change” which resulted in high winds during that day’s racing.
