The Crew of the
Privilege 7"Jesseas II" was airrescued by a helicopter, close to Garrucha/Med after their
Catamaran was dismasted in the same severe Storm which led although to massive damages on
Boats in Mallorca.
As written in the article, the Cat took although on
Water and the
Captain sent a Mayday. It is uncertain what occured the leak which led to the
water increas and it is although uncertain if this would have led to sinking because of the watertight bulkheads of the
Privilege, is written further down.
The
Skipper prepared the
liferaft. One Crewmember war injured on his Ear. Later the SAR-Boat "Mastelero"appeared on scene and stood with the Cat. the Sailors were flewn out to Almeria.
