I seem to remember on ESPN2 a while back they had
video of a yacht race and part of it was around the
Horn. I was getting seasick just watching it on TV!
One of the sail boats overturned and the pilot,
( What do you call a one person yacht person? )
was trapped upside down until the Navy came and
got them.
I also seem to remember that you go around from the
Pacific to the Atlantic, East to West, and not
the other way around, unless you want to play
Capt Bligh.
