Yes I think it's two yachts sunk and one abandoned at the moment.
From my email feed this morning
Pictures of Mervyn can be found here -

Been in communication with Kass. Both her and Zest holding up well

I think 2 solo teams , Mervyn Wheatley (losing Tamarind) and Keith Walton (losing Harmonii) with Mihail and Dian abandoning their Luffe 37.9 Furia.
I think Mervyn is now on the Queen Mary.
Must have got really bad.

Vento has had to pull into Halifax to sort out problems with the the tilting keel.
From my emails today
a pit stop for Venta perhaps, suspended racing ?
good luck to all those still racing and those making their way home
Christian is plugging on in Olbia, can you beat a SS34 in heavy weather to windward?

David Southwood is hove to in Summerbird
Neil Payter is hove to in the Yamaha Solent 1
