So sad, Wine Dark Sea was at Magnetic Island when we were there 2 years ago and was owned by a lovely young couple. Our hearts go out to the family and friends.

That's really sad.
The gentlemen that owns it lost his partner and fellow sailor Sarah Goddard-Jones in some diving accident earlier this year. I remember the Maggy Island Race week were going to name an inaugural trophy after her.
Man, that's gotta be tough.
