erice 732 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 looks like that low over the uk was responsible for the 50,000 now without power and extensive flooding High winds and heavy rain battered parts of Europe on Monday and Tuesday, with some areas still reeling from the aftermath. + Stamm and co-skipper Damien Guillou were delivering Stamm’s Open 60 Cheminees Poujoulat home from Brazil after the TJV, running ahead of a not-unusual winter storm with winds to around 50 knots and seas of 30 feet, according to the British Coast Guard (it turned out to be the deepest low recorded in the British Isles since the 1880s). When his JuanK designed boat fell off a wave, the boat literally cracked in half forward of the daggerboard casings, and only by immediately shutting the watertight crash doors did Guillou and Stamm keep the boat afloat long enough to be rescued.
