John Cuzner's Sun Odyssey 52.2 J'Sea was one of the yachts in a dramatic video of the successful rescue of Srecko and Olga Pust from their sinking Sweden Yachts 45 "Ciao" off the Cocos in the Indian Ocean last September during the World ARC

It is a very sad video but shows that despite the terrible luck in loosing their rudder that at least the benign weather, good communications and good seamanship of other rally yachts avoided a total catastrophe.
The video shows the final 5 minutes of a three hour ordeal which included an unsuccessful tow by the SO52.2 and help from others
I am sure we can all learn something from this
