During day 12 of the North Pacific leg, the crew of "IchorCoal" had just reefed her mainsail in of wind. Crewmember Sarah Young (40) was tidying the ropes in the cockpit when she was knocked from her position by a wave which swept her backwards, under the guardrail and overboard. She had not been clipped on and was swept away in strong winds. The crew used the signal from her personal AIS transmitter to locate her in the water and then recovered her on board, but were unable to resuscitate her after an hour in the water. Young, a Londoner who had founded personal lifestyle company Bespoke Establishment Ltd., was buried at sea, with her family's permission, due to the boat's position, and the time it would take to reach land.
