The 100ft supermaxi, Rambler, designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian, and buit by the Cookson yard in Auckland has capsized in the Rolex Fastnet Race.

She capsized after rounding the Fastnet Rock on the second leg of the race to the Scillies off the south west coast of England. Conditions in the area are believed to have been 15-20 kts. The cause of the capsize appears to be the keel has fallen off.

Her position has been removed from the RORC Race tracking system.
