The Fastnet Race Memorial at Holy Trinity Church, Cowes, Isle of Wight lists 19 fatalities, the 15 above and Olivia Davidson, John Dix, Richard Pendred & Peter Pickering [14] who were aboard Bucks Fizz (a yacht shadowing the fleet to view the race). Two more (unnamed) may also have been lost from Tempean (not a competitor).[15]

As memory serves, one of the participants in the Fastnet sailing race in the 1970's was an American woman, connected with navigation eduction in CT. Unfortunaely memory doesn't serve as well as it once did, and I can't recall her name. Can anyone help with some memory refreshment? Thanks. Alan
