Roxanne to the Rescue

Sausalito sailor Tim Sell caught this great series of shots during last night’s Sausalito YC Beer Cans. In the midst of a spectacular spinnaker blow-out, a crewmember aboard Dale Flaming’s J/133 J/Hawk fell overboard, only to be quickly rescued by the crew of Charles James’ J/105 Roxanne. "It was an exciting night for us," said SYC Race Chair John Mount.

Brava, Roxanne! Mount says there were no reports of any injuries, but that the crewmember was probably plenty cold.
