Ted Turner recalls the infamous 1979 Fastnet Race, which claimed the lives of 15 people and caused the abandonment or sinking of 24 boats. From our June 2002 issue.

Nearing the end of a race that will span a total of eight months, French skipper Franck Cammas’ team solidify their lead with a victory at Lisbon. Close behind was overall third-place boat PUMA, and overall second-place boat Telefonica had a rough race that put them in last.

Current overall leader Groupama took first place, while PUMA battled back for a well-deserved second place finish. CAMPER (with Emirates Team New Zealand) snagged the last podium spot, while overall second-place boat Telefonica came in last. Telefonica’s poor finish resulted partially from a penalty on PUMA immediately after the start and partially from a snapped masthead halyard.
