No matter what form of boating you happen to be involved in and no matter how much care and attention is given to safety there is always risk. This has been brought home today with the loss of Andrew Simpson while training with Artemis for the America's Cup. This is the pinnacle of competitive sailing, a little like F1 is to cars, with huge resources and attention to detail, but it is still dangerous and shows what can happen when any of us set sail.
My thoughts go out to Andrew's family and his teammates.
