Thankfully a successful outcome.
Wonder if it was the same Ariadne that took a battering in the 1979 Fastnet race?

According to Bob Fisher 'the' Ariadne was a 35ft 3/4 tonner, so maybe not.

Re: CCG rescue.
Don't know about you guys but this does not fill me with confidence....
Clyde Coastguard have this evening been coordinating the rescue of five individuals from the yacht `Ariadne which reported that she had a split hull and was taking water off the Heads of Ayr, near Troon on the east coast of Scotland.

Re: CCG rescue.
Not sure why I did it but I called up Aberdeen Coastguard to tell them we were on passage from Clachnaharry* to Port Edgar. They asked us to call them again when we had cleared the Pentland Firth!
