ex Elly 197 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 He was delivering a yacht from NZ to Brazil. He got thrown overboard by the mainsheet, in 2-3m seas. Wasn't wearing a harness or lifejacket. Used his jeans as a flotation device for 3 hours. When they brought the yacht into Gisborne it was hauled out, as someone spotted fan worm on it.
