si, si, fortunati,
fortunati che anche se hanno perso delle miglia ne avevano "altre di scorta" contro l'avversario.
Cosi' si puo' anche interpretare quello che c'e' scritto nel sito VOR.

Peccato, sarebbe stata un'ottima opportunita' per le persone nella leadership dello sport di reiterare che queste cose non si possono accettare

Bell' esempio alla prossima generazione e di sviluppo di cultura velica agonistica. Dopo anni di aver subito genitori e maestri che hanno inculcato l'importanza della sicurezza, se si raggiunge i massimi livelli agonistici ce se ne puo' fregare e andare fuori dalle draglie sull' outrigger senza salvagente, imbragatura, beacon, strobe, battello di apppoggio, vestiti di nero e senza dire niente a nessuno.

Si e' salvato solo perche' il timoniere se ne e' accorto dopo che era in acqua e ha alzato la mano.

VOR, World Sailing: Un po' di leadership per piacere...

Man overboard on leg leader Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag
Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag retain the lead in Leg 4 of the Volvo Ocean Race, despite a dramatic man overboard scenario on Sunday.
Crew member Alex Gough was washed overboard by a wave during a sail change, near midday local time on Sunday afternoon, in winds of 15-20 knots.
The team swung into recovery mode, and Gough was back on board within seven minutes, unharmed. Scallywag resumed racing immediately.
"He went out on the outrigger, I was driving, and we went off a big sea and it picked him up threw him off, like a horse," skipper David Witt said.
"The main thing is, we got him back on board. He's safe. But I think it's shown everyone how hard it is to see the guy in the water. Even on a sunny day, 18 knots of wind... You wouldn't want to be doing this in 20 knots in the dark."
Gough wasn't wearing a harness or a lifejacket. Witt says he should have been tethered, or at minimum have told the helmsman what he was doing, before he went outside the lifelines on the outrigger.
"I was pretty stupid, but luckily the guys were on to it. They turned around bloody quickly," Gough said. "I'm good. I'm fine. It was a bit scary... But off we go again."
The manoeuvre cost the team some miles, but they had a few to spare, and still lead the fleet on the fast charge westward towards Hong Kong, now just over 2,000 nautical miles away.
