About this listen

The 1979 Fastnet Yachting Race was one of Britain’s worst maritime events. What was meant to be a thrilling leisure activity turned in to disaster, when a perfect storm hit the race. 75 boats capsized, 5 sank and 19 people died.

Matt Sheahan was just 17 when he and his father set sail. Janet Grosvenor was Deputy Race Director. Both tell their story.
