Cape Horn capsize
Jean le Cam's VM Materiaux flips the wrong side of the Horn
STOP PRESS - VM Materiaux capsize - see this afternoon's update. Vincent Riou has arrived - le Cam alive!

Earlier this morning in the Vendee Globe, the emergency beacon went off on Jean le Cam's third placed VM Materiaux 200 miles west of Cape Horn. A Chilean navy spotter plane has just reported that the pink Open 60 has capsized. See this morning's race update. Another awkward situation is brewing shoreside in the Volvo Ocean Race with leader Ericsson 4 found to be 2mm over length.
Glenn Ashby had another amazing day at the A-Class World Championship. While a Kiwi boat leads, the Aussies are ahead in the team results at the 12ft Skiff Interdominions.
