Excalibur down

Article Abstract:

Excalibur was sailing down the east coast of Australia with a delivery crew of six when it overturned in the rough seas and all the crew was trapped underneath. It was the ultimate survival test and what saved the day was the fact that the sailor was carrying appropriate, readily accessible safety gear, which is a must to survive these tough conditions.
