Artemis got caught out, too, moving slowly when a second gust hit
and blew them over. Bowman Andy Fethers is dropping
feet-first from the upper hull through the wingsail in the photo
above, into the water, but was uninjured.

Fethers (climbing out of the water, above) broke out a
structural member of the wing as he passed through it, but
fortunately was uninjured himself. Photo:©2011

Righting Artemis. Though permitted outside assistance in event of
a capsize, the Swedes were unable to finished the course within
ten minutes of the leader's time and score as DNF (Did Not
Finish), but earn three points since they were able to start.
